Because each child possesses a distinct compilation of experiences, talents, relationships, and struggles, mga offers a treatment program that is customized to meet her special needs and help her become more confident, secure, and healthy. By combining the best features of a boarding school, a treatment facility, and a transition program, we are able to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our students, giving them the support and tools necessary to thrive.
