Each youth referred to our program is evaluated individually as to the level of care needed and the severity of the presenting problem. We want to be of service in any way that we can. If you are not sure of your child's status relative to the criteria or would like to discuss a particular situation, we would be happy to assist in reviewing possible options.

After receiving the information listed above, a BRTC clinician will carefully assess the referred youth in order to determine his appropriateness for placement in the program. Arrangements for an interview are scheduled at the earliest convenience of the youth and his family and in the location of their choice. If admitted into the BRTC program, transportation for the youth can be provided when necessary. The BRTC staff welcomes the referred youth, his family, consultant, and case manager to tour the Birdseye RTC prior to placement.
