Northwest Passage Information

Northwest Passage is dedicated to restoring hope through innovative mental health services for children and families. Since 1978, Northwest Passage has been a leader in the development of programs and services for children and adolescents who are struggling with the profound impact of mental illness and severe behavioral disorders. Northwest Passage’s mission and underlying goal has always been to provide highly individualized and comprehensive care to at-risk youth on the verge of failing out of society and facing the prospect of years of incarceration and institutionalization. Programming includes guidance, direction, individual and family counseling, social services, special education, adventure challenges, restitution and community service, vocational training, and aftercare services. Clients in the Northwest Passage programs participate in school, physical activities, life skills training, therapy, and community service activities on a day-to-day basis. We serve approximately 500 at-risk youth each year. We have 3 residential treatment programs and a facility providing 30-day clinical assessments.
