The Monarch Center is an organization dedicated to working with families to reconnect and move through events and issues that have caused dysfunction and stress to arise. In particular, we effectively support parents and youths who are struggling with issues specific to the parent-adolescent relationship by utilizing both wilderness and relationship-based therapy in an intensive and transformative manner. These issues may include disrespecting authority, delinquency, substance abuse, academic struggles, emotional troubles, and peer conflicts.

The Monarch Center is able to respond to families through a range of services which include:

• Short & long-term wilderness-based interventions for adolescents
• Single and multi-family intensives
• Parent support groups
• Crisis interventions
• Family-based wilderness programs
• Community-based service programs for youths and their families; aftercare support

The vision of The Monarch Center is to work with families in crisis by interrupting and altering the processes which are causing damage to the family system rather than through a long-term exclusion of the child from her or his home environment. The result is a family which enjoys greater authenticity, healthier communication, and deeper connection.
