Scissortail Pointe

Scissortail Pointe provides enhanced behavioral health services in a structured and supportive group home setting for male and female adolescents. Our program is designed to serve youth who require intensive therapeutic care, including psychiatric services, medication management, on-site nursing, and increased clinical interventions. Many of our residents have experienced multiple out-of-home placements, hospitalizations, or challenges related to aggression, self-harm, substance use, depression, and trauma. At Scissortail Pointe, we recognize that every young person has unique strengths and needs, and we are committed to providing individualized, trauma-responsive care that promotes healing, stability, and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approach

Our therapeutic approach focuses on ensuring that youth receive care in the least restrictive environment while fostering emotional safety and long-term success. We provide a restorative therapeutic milieu where residents develop the necessary skills to transition into a less restrictive setting. Each youth receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their needs, which may include individual therapy for processing trauma and building resilience, group therapy to develop social skills and peer support, and family therapy to strengthen relationships and improve communication. Psychiatric care and medication management ensure comprehensive mental health support, while evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) help youth develop coping strategies and emotional regulation skills. Progress is continuously evaluated through monthly transition meetings, ensuring each youth receives appropriate care and support as they prepare for future placement or reunification.

Education & Career Readiness

Education is a vital component of the healing process at Scissortail Pointe. Our residents have access to on-site education services, including online schooling tailored to their academic level. Those eligible may participate in GED preparation and testing, helping them achieve educational milestones and build confidence for future opportunities. 

Creative & Life-Skills Development

Scissortail Pointe offers creative and life-skills development opportunities to promote self-expression and personal growth. Youth participate in groups to build self-esteem, develop problem-solving skills, and explore new interests. Classes that help promote independence and nutritional awareness, while leadership and social skills training support confidence-building and future success. These activities play an essential role in fostering emotional resilience, developing practical skills, and preparing youth for reintegration into their communities.

Family & Community Engagement 

Family involvement is a critical part of the healing journey, and we encourage active participation through consistent communication and support. Monthly family therapy sessions provide a space for rebuilding trust and strengthening relationships, while regular phone calls and scheduled visitations help maintain family bonds. We also offer family education and support resources to empower caregivers with the tools needed to help their child succeed. Beyond family involvement, Scissortail Pointe partners with community organizations and mentors who serve as positive role models, providing life-skills training, mentorship programs, and opportunities for personal growth. These connections help youth develop healthy relationships and build a strong foundation for the future.

Recreation & Wellness 

Physical activity and recreation are integral to a well-rounded treatment experience. At Scissortail Pointe, we provide structured recreational opportunities that support physical and emotional well-being. 

At Scissortail Pointe, we are dedicated to providing a safe, trauma-responsive, and empowering environment where youth can heal, grow, and thrive. Our goal is to equip every resident with the skills, confidence, and support they need to transition successfully into the next stage of their lives. By combining enhanced behavioral health services, individualized care, and a strong focus on personal growth and family connection, we strive to empower youth to build a brighter, more hopeful future.
