Imagine a facility sitting on 800 acres of Indiana’s heartland dedicated to healing young teenage girls, and their families–a facility that takes a professional multidisciplinary approach and piles on compassionate loving care driven by Christian values to help heal the mind, body, and soul of young adolescent girls struggling with mental health issues that have negatively impacted their day-to-day lives. If your child and family are struggling with a mental health crisis consider Compass Rose Academy (CRA).
Amid corn fields, lush green pastures, and nestled among small Midwestern towns you’ll find Compass Rose Academy (CRA), a mental health residential treatment center near Wabash, Indiana, welcoming young girls from the ages of 14-18 to their residential cottages and beautiful campus—a campus which includes softball fields, ponds, and woods as well as an indoor activity center, gym, swimming pool, and weight room. CRA’s campus appears to be specifically designed to be welcoming and inviting to new residents and their families.
Being a subsidiary of Josiah White’s, Indiana’s largest social services ministry with more than 160 years of experience serving troubled youth, Compass Rose Academy began its mission in 2012. CRA is a “…Christian residential treatment center that uses emotion-focused and experiential interventions to build in deeper and longer-lasting changes at the character level,” as described in their mission statement.
Compass Rose Academy’s multidisciplinary team approach supports troubled teenage girls and their families as
Through this multidisciplinary approach Compass Rose Academy strives to provide an environment that is not only safe by providing Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) but also provides the opportunity for students to learn healthy life skills as they engage with peers that struggle with similar issues.[1][2]
Compass Rose Academy fosters a compassionate, caring, and individualized pathway for student and family healing by providing individual, group, and family therapy—emphasizing healing for all members of the family by promoting positive family cohesiveness, experiential learning, and strong family emotional well-being.
Compass Rose Academy’s healing pathway, or more specifically, Growth Model is based upon the work of critically acclaimed psychologist and author Dr. John Townsend, PhD known for his series of books, Boundaries.
Instead of focusing solely on reducing symptoms like depression, anxiety, or defiance, our Growth Model looks at the hard-wiring issues (or character structure) that drive symptoms. We address this character structure in four primary developmental levels – Bonding, Boundaries, Reality, and Competence. The focus of the counseling and all other aspects of our program at Compass Rose is on developing the character, or internal structure, necessary to face the issues of life.
