Albert J. Solnit Children's Center
At the Albert J. Solnit Children's Center, we treat our youth and

gender-sensitive surrounding that our therapeutic milieu is based.
Interdisciplinary teams develop, implement and continually assess
individualized treatment plans.
Solnit - South Campus is a state-administered Psychiatric facility
for Connecticut's children who are under the age of eighteen, located on a
67-acre campus overlooking the Connecticut River in Middletown, CT. The center
provides comprehensive care to children and adolescents with severe mental
illness and related behavior and emotional problems who cannot be safely
assessed or treated in a less restrictive setting.
The campus includes: Four coed hospital units, three female
adolescent Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility cottages (PRTF), two
schools, an indoor pool, playgrounds, ball field, two gyms, recreation rooms,
and outdoor picnic area.
"...You
see the sickest most vulnerable youth that have been through all types of
treatments but are still at great risk...I try to be their strength, I try to
be their voice, I try to be that adult they can count on and try to be hope
that can better their life even if just for a moment. There is something about
seeing a kid smile that hasn't in a long time, trust that never has or have
hope again because you were just there for them."
