Who We Can Help

Timothy Hill Academy specializes in helping boys who are struggling with anger, depression, low self-esteem, rebellion, adoption, and/or antisocial behavior brought on by trauma or unhealthy living situations. Our professional staff is trained to work with boys who have been diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder), and RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder).

We are passionate about restoring troubled boys to normal lives and healthy families, that’s why we also work with parents to improve the home environment to which the boys will return. We also develop an individualized plan to prepare each boy for a successful transition back into his family and community life.
