Helping Girls in Crisis Find Hope
Red Hawk Behavioral Health is a residential treatment center for adolescent girls, ages 12-17, who are experiencing future-impacting relational or emotional difficulties brought on by trauma. Limiting our care to 24 girls allows more attention to be given to each girl by our therapists and trained staff. An individualized therapeutic plan and focused care helps our residents move to a better place mentally and emotionally in a much shorter period of time, alleviating the difficulties they are currently experiencing in their lives. Our program helps each young woman find positive new ways to manage life’s obstacles and traumas that have strained their well-being and relationships in the past.
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Really Works!
At Red Hawk, we utilize EQUINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY as an experience-based framework designed to empower young women to analyze their situations, make connections, and find their own solutions through personal and physical experiences. We are also excited to announce the addition of BRAIN MAPPING AND NEUROFEEDBACK to our regular treatment protocols!! Neurofeedback is known to help enhanced memory and focus, decreased impulsivity and anxiety, better mental clarity, more restful sleep, improved mood, and a host of other benefits. Please call to learn more about how this may help your daughter.
Treatment for Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria
Red Hawk has targeted treatment for Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and ADHD related concerns! Has your child always been more sensitive to criticism, teasing or rejection than their peers? This can often be linked to ADHD and there is a name for it! Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is an extreme emotional sensitivity and emotional pain triggered by the perception, not necessarily the reality, that a person has been rejected, teased, or criticized by important people in their life. RSD may also be triggered by a sense of failure, or falling short, failing to meet either their own high standards or others’ expectations. When this emotional response is internalized, it can imitate full, major depression complete with suicidal ideation. The sudden change from feeling perfectly fine to feeling depressed that results from RSD is often misdiagnosed as rapid cycling bipolar disorder. When this emotional response is externalized, it looks like an impressive, instantaneous rage at the person or situation responsible for causing the pain. 50% of people who are assigned court-mandated anger-management treatment have previously unrecognized ADHD.
