Avanti Center offers a continuum of shelter, evaluation, and residential treatment services for adolescents, ages 13-18, experiencing mental health crises. The Willows is an on-site school located in Avanti. Education at The Willows is highly individualized and coordinated with the student's home district, allowing as little disruption in school progress as possible. As students progress in treatment, there are off-site alternatives to assist with reintegration into a mainstream school setting. Decisions regarding the school setting are made in collaboration with the resident and their parents, Willow's staff, and Avanti's treatment team.
