Dogwood Campus
Located on 41 secluded acres on the outskirts of Memphis, this beautiful campus provides a peaceful atmosphere to help boys and girls with a variety of emotional and behavioral problems.
The Dogwood Campus’ tranquil setting is home to individual cottages that group youth by gender, age, diagnosis and functioning level. The 10-12 members of each group live in the same cottage and spend all day together – attending class, eating meals together and participating in activities as a group. The campus features a specialized treatment program to address problem sexual behaviors but is also equipped to serve boys ages 8 to 17 and girls ages 11 to 17 who have been impacted by trauma.
