Willow Creek Treatment Center

Willow Creek Treatment Center specializes in serving youth that have a history of abuse, neglect, and multiple placement failures.  Our program provides a stable, structured, and nurturing atmosphere which affords the children the opportunity to test and grow while being valued and protected.  Our goal is to help children develop self-esteem, self-respect, and a sense of responsibility with control over the direction and quality of their lives.  Willow Creek Treatment Center provides the necessary social, personal, and academic skills to successfully move to a lower level of care or return home allowing the children to pursue their long-term goals and aspirations.

North Valley School

Willow Creek residents are offered a variety of educational opportunities at North Valley School, an accredited non-public special education school. North Valley School’s mission is to provide a successful, comprehensive, and therapeutic educational program. 

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program

Our program provides for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Emotionally Disturbed (ED) children who are unable to attend regular schools. While we are integrated with the hearing program, we have deaf classrooms and deaf group homes to accommodate our deaf clients’ communication and educational  needs. 

After many years of providing treatment, we have witnessed a large number of successful graduates who often return to us, sharing their appreciation of our services and sharing their transitions (easy and difficult) into their adult lives. Many of these residents stay in touch with us, informing us of their new jobs, new degrees, and new families.   We have seen both Deaf and Hearing youths become fully independent with a sense of confidence and we have seen families successfully reunified.
