About

Sunrise provides therapeutic healing and engaging academics to adolescent girls, ages 12 - 17, who are bright curious, and capable and have struggled with deep-rooted emotional issues that have kept them from reaching their full potential. Many have experienced trauma, chemical dependency, mental illness, depression, anxiety and, or low self-esteem. Our fully-integrated, relational DBT program creates a supportive, loving environment providing the girls opportunities to practice DBT skills throughout each day. Our evidence-based clinical model stems from a long practice of gathering and analyzing data during treatment and for years after transition, so that each girl is supported by our multi-disciplinary treatment team, in the treatment that best meets her needs in that particular moment. We empower our girls to make Real Life Change by creating opportunities for them to participate in the community through: service-learning activities; college attendance; team sports; art and music; internships and recreational experiences. Our in-town and at-home Transition Programs provide ongoing support to Sunrise students and their families after graduation. At Sunrise, we envision a world where girls make peace with their past, thrive in the present, and move boldly into their futures, for a life of emotional health, personal growth, and independence.
