Germaine Lawrence provides the highest quality residential treatment services in New England for adolescent girls. Many of the girls we serve have experienced significant trauma. As a result, they have not developed the capacity to regulate their emotions or manage their behaviors in safe ways. They have adopted extreme coping mechanisms such as eating disorders or other self harm, running away, suicide attempts, sexually acting out, drug or alcohol abuse, or firesetting. Germaine Lawrence provides personalized treatment through comprehensive clinical services, a supportive special education program, and a highly structured therapeutic milieu. We offer a comprehensive continuum of services that helps girls reduce destructive behaviors, develop age-appropriate social skills, and make enough progress to enable them to live at home or in the community safely again. The mission of Germaine Lawrence is to provide adolescent girls the highest quality residential treatment services with the goal of strengthening their relationships with their families and preparing them for productive, independent lives.
