Info on Calls, Visits & More

Below, you’ll find answers to some of the questions we frequently receive from parents, guardians and other caregivers. Read on for additional information details about Natchez Trace Youth Academy, such as what a student needs to pack for their treatment, when parents can visit and speak with their child, and more.

What should I bring with my child?

All a resident needs to bring with them are current medications, and copies of their insurance card, birth certificate, and immunization records. We provide clothing, underwear, shoes and toiletries.

What if my child has allergies?

We can provide hypoallergenic toiletries as needed.

Where will my child sleep, and will he have a roommate?

Boys stay in dorms with no more than four residents per room. The four dorms on campus allow us to separate youth by their needs.

What is education like at the facility?

Our school is accredited so that all classes will transfer back to the student’s school of origin. Our school will be in touch with your child’s school to align schedules and curriculums as possible. Read more about our Education Services and Activities here.

Does your facility take girls?

Our facility is only for young male residents.

Will you take my child to see his doctor?

Unless there is a significant reason why the child needs to see their current health provider, our students will receive treatment from our medical personnel and specialists in our community (as necessary).

When will my child get to call home?

He’ll get to make a phone call home (monitored by his therapist) typically within the first 48 hours of treatment.

How long is the program?

Stays are typically three to nine months long, but program length can vary based on the child and his behaviors.

Will they get any exercise?

We have a gym and outdoor basketball courts, and an Alpine Climbing Tower that provides therapeutic and team building exercises. We also have TSSAA Basketball and Track teams and participate in Amateur Athletics Union basketball events. Our students can also earn recreational outings that include outdoor activities, like swimming and climbing. Learn more about our outdoor activities here.

Will he get to come home for visits?

We do extend therapeutic passes to students to gain insight into their treatment and to prepare for discharge/aftercare. Once a student has progressed in the program to the point that it is felt safe and therapeutic for the child to prepare for discharge, we’ll extend a pass for a home visit.

Will we get to visit Natchez Trace Youth Academy?

Once the child has progressed to a certain level in treatment, family visits get scheduled through the youth’s therapist on Sunday afternoons in the school building.
