CERTS GROUP
Certified Educational, Recreational, Therapeutic Schools and Programs (CERTS) is a family of schools and programs dedicated to providing the very best care for troubled teenagers and their families. Parents with children in a CERTS facility have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their child is receiving the best help possible from a caring, expert staff.

Because information can give you piece of mind and help you to make better decisions, our professionals have created the CERTS InformationCenter. The CERTS InformationCenter provides information on numerous behavioral health issues like depression, eating disorders, ADD, drug or alcohol abuse, conduct disorder and more. Each page answers important questions on these conditions like:

What is it?
How do you know they have it?
What causes it?
What happens when you have it?
How do you treat it?

Each page also has a section devoted to other websites that we felt would be helpful in helping you to learn more about your son or daughter's condition. To access the CERTS InformationCenter, click here or on the image below.

Moonridge Academy
Moonridge Academy is a 16-bed facility that works with girls ages 12-15 who are exhibiting some of the challenging behaviors listed above including oppositional defiance, self-mutilation, and/or suicidal ideation. Moonridge Academy is clinically intensive, but uses experiential therapies to compliment traditional therapeutic approaches to provide "age-specific" therapy. Also, an average younger student age means that students are less exposed to the attitudes and issues of older girls.

La Europa Academy
La Europa Academy is a unique 33-bed, fine arts-based facility that works with girls ages 13-17 that exhibit the behaviors and issues treated in the other CERTS programs. However, La Europa's specialized programming blends the healing power of the fine arts (e.g. art and art therapy, drama, dance, and music) with all of the clinical intensity of the other CERTS treatment centers to create a unique and powerful approach to releasing self-destructive emotions. La Europa's superb setting is also highly conducive to inner growth and healing.
