LaSalle School’s Specialized Residential & Day Services Programs offer therapeutic support for adolescent males and their families. These services are available to youth between the ages of 12 and 18, in grades 6 through 12, who are facing significant challenges at home, in school, or within their communities.
If a review of referral materials suggests the student may benefit from our services, the Admissions team will schedule a Pre-Placement Interview (PPI) with the student, their family, and referring professionals.
During the PPI, the Admissions team will:
Provide an overview of available programs and treatment services, and answer any questions.
Whenever possible, conduct the interview on-campus, offering the student and family a chance to tour the facilities and meet key staff members.
On the Day of Admission:
The student will be introduced to his Social Work team and other key support staff.
He will be shown to his dormitory and meet the Youth Development Specialists assigned to that area.
Staff will review LaSalle’s communication options, including how students can call or write home, and ensure a phone pass is set up with all approved contact numbers.
The student will receive essential items for his first night, including bedding and personal hygiene products.
A member of the residential team will conduct an I AM SAFE review to help the student feel welcomed, supported, and secure in his new environment.
