St. John’s Home is Michigan’s premiere residential treatment program for
emotionally troubled and mentally ill children and adolescents. St. John’s
maintains an unmatched success rate with 60 of the state’s most difficult boys
and girls who temporarily live on what is widely regarded as the warmest and
most homelike children’s campus anywhere.
Most students in the residential program are referred by Family Independence
Agency or Family Court workers – and the two most common reasons for their
doing so are the program’s nurturing atmosphere and its proven effectiveness.
Rather than focus on short-term behavioral change, St. John’s concentrates
instead on the more important changes in a youngster’s perceptions that are
needed for genuine internal growth and ultimate success in life. This is
accomplished by surrounding each child or adolescent with an atmosphere of
love, high expectations, relentless optimism and a daily diet of exciting and
eye-opening activities. St. John’s genuinely believes that living in a
children’s home ought to be fun and that lasting perceptual change comes more
through doing than through talking.
The Home’s consistent 80% success rate with Michigan’s most “hopeless” children
– and the fact that nearly 95% of the Home’s successful grads maintain that
success in later years – is proof of the program’s effectiveness. St. John’s is
so confident about its students that it guarantees each one a college
education! And all of this is delivered at a cost fully one-third less than
that of comparable programs.
St. John's Home residential Treatment consists of two programs:
- St. John's Children's Home - for children ages 6-12
- St. John's Academy for teens - A new and innovative program for teens ages 13-17
