The Summit House at Tanager provides short-term crisis stabilization for youth in a safe and supportive residential setting.
At The Summit House, our team of compassionate professionals creates a secure environment where youth can stabilize and work toward returning to their homes and communities. Our focus is on safety, healing, and preparing for a successful transition back to everyday life.
While at The Summit House, youth work closely with Tanager’s interdisciplinary team, their families, referring workers, and program staff. Together, we assess each individual’s treatment needs, set measurable goals, and develop a clear plan to achieve safety and stability. Open communication ensures all options, expectations, and timelines are clearly understood.
