Monrovia Residence

The Monrovia Residence program is a residential therapeutic community modeled after Boys Republic. It is designed to support adolescents in achieving their treatment goals through a peer-accountability structure. The program emphasizes group therapy to help students develop prosocial behaviors and adaptive coping strategies and address maladaptive patterns within a socially supportive setting.

Key components of the program include:

• Structured Therapeutic Environment: Built on positive youth development principles, the program promotes growth through structure, repetition, consistent expectations, and nurturing relationships.
  
• Individualized, Culturally Sensitive Treatment: Each student receives a personalized, trauma-informed treatment plan that respects cultural backgrounds and specific needs, supporting long-term reintegration and success.
  
• Group-Based Approach: The group setting enables students to address behavioral, emotional, and psychological challenges while learning and practicing new skills in a real-time social context.
  
• Community Engagement: Students participate in volunteer work and community involvement, reinforcing their roles as productive citizens.
  
• Educational Integration: Collaboration with the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) ensures educational continuity and engagement.
  
• Self-Governance and Responsibility: The program fosters age-appropriate responsibility and interdependence, encouraging students to take ownership of their actions and decisions.
