Overview 

The Springfield Secure Treatment Program is a residential juvenile justice program that serves about 45 boys ages 13 to 18. Many of the boys - some with parents who have experienced challenges with the justice system - are victims of abuse and neglect, and are being treated for offenses ranging from theft to violence. Referred by the Department of Youth Services, the boys receive therapy and clinical services tailored to meet their individual needs, and take part in an accredited educational program. The program is structured to increase positive behavior, social and communication skills, empathy, and the ability to successfully negotiate day-to-day tasks.
