Youth Home's Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP) follows The Family First Prevention Services Act which emphasizes the importance of children growing up in families and helps ensure children are placed in the least restrictive, most family-like setting appropriate to their special needs when foster care is needed. We provide a homelike setting on our Colonel Glenn campus.

This program offers necessary emotional and behavioral treatment for girls ages 12-17 and boys ages 10-17 who are currently in DCFS custody. Services are staffed 24/7 by Qualified Behavioral Health Providers. Prospective residents must be able to benefit from a cognitive treatment approach and function in a less restrictive setting.

The Siebert Educational Program at Youth Home is an approved program through the Arkansas Department of Education. All of the teachers have a minimum of two certification areas, one of those areas being Special Education. The curriculum is aligned with the state standards and delivered at the students’ instructional levels.

In classes with a maximum number of 10 students, they receive a full instructional day of individualized education with a dually certified teacher and a Qualified Behavioral Health Provider in each classroom. Students also receive emotional support in a trauma-informed setting including the availability of school staff trained in de-escalation techniques, a sensory room with a variety of sensory activities and manipulatives, a decompression zone available when other methods have been unsuccessful in calming the students, and comfort rooms for a quiet, calming area to help work through anxious moments.

As a TRICARE®-certified residential facility for youth ages 12 to 17, Youth Home, Inc. is committed to treating each child as an individual and providing exceptional treatment for military families from anywhere in the world. Our program addresses children’s entire wellbeing including medical, psychiatric, social, and academic needs. We provide a variety of therapies and activities in a beautiful, open, and comfortable environment for diagnoses like reactive attachment disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, severe depression/anxiety, trauma and more.

For families outside the state, we always ensure you stay connected and informed throughout the treatment process because you are an important part of our treatment team. We even gladly offer visitation via video if family is unable to attend during visitation hours.
