Thrive Girls Ranch & Home understands that you want to find help for your struggling teen girl who may be suffering with Reactive Attachment Disorder. We provide therapy for teen girls at our affordable, specialized boarding school program, set in a safe, positive and structured environment near Austin, Texas.
What is Reactive Attachment Disorder?
Reactive Attachment Disorder (or RAD), is a rare but serious condition that leaves children unable to form a healthy emotional attachment with a mother (or primary caregiver). Reliable care of a baby’s physical and emotional needs enables them to learn to bond, and devoid of that (i.e.: from temporary foster care, adoption), they may have difficulty establishing any close bonds.
There are two types of RAD (sometimes also known as Reactive Attachment Disorder). One may find a teen detached, unemotional, inhibited or introverted. With the other kind they might be unbecomingly familiar or affectionate with complete strangers.
Many of Our Past and Current Students Have Reactive Attachment Disorders
Many children who were adopted exhibit attachment disorders in their teenage years. A stable and sustaining environment is necessary for your teen to learn to create healthy attachments and relationships. Our emphasis on family therapy is also critically important in the treatment of Reactive Attachment Disorder, encouraging communication between you and your daughter. By teaching you (parenting) skills to help heal the disorder, your teen can avoid developing mounting social and behavioral issues later in life and, rather, go on to enjoy healthy relationships with you and with others.
Your Teen Girl Can Change and Thrive
Thrive Girls Ranch & Home offers life transformation to girls who struggle with life-controlling and self-destructive behaviors or attitudes like Reactive Attachment Disorder. We provide therapeutic counseling to each individual girl, plus daily learning experiences and activities that nurture a true change of heart–and help her thrive in life.
We also desire to see every girl discover her God-given potential, and live out our core values of integrity, compassion, community, vision, stewardship, servanthood, and faith in Jesus Christ.
At Thrive Girls Ranch & Home, teen girls receive fully accredited middle and high school curriculum through Alpha Omega Academy. We also offer extensive academic recovery options, and help her prepare to transition into a normal, healthy lifestyle in college, ministry or the workforce. And because we highly value family restoration, parents can visit their girl once a month, and receive good insight on improving family relationships.
