Transitional Center Inc. (TCI) was founded in 1999 with one mission: to ensure youth with complex mental health and behavioral needs receive the compassionate care, support, and opportunities they deserve.

 

What began as a 12-bed residential program inside St. Mary's Hospital has grown into a 96-bed trauma-informed therapeutic residential campus, where every aspect of care is designed to promote safety, trust, healing, and long-term success. In 2007, we expanded our impact by opening JTC Academy, a therapeutic special education school that now serves both residential and community students, providing individualized, trauma-informed educational programming.

 

Today, TCI and JTC Academy work together to deliver comprehensive residential treatment, education, behavioral health services, and life skills in an environment that recognizes the impact of trauma and empowers youth to build resilience. Our commitment remains unchanged: to break the cycle of trauma and adversity, restore hope, and help every young person heal, grow, and build a brighter future.
