Academic Trauma™ & Academic Therapy™

Traditional Academics

The reality is that psychological, behavioral, familial, and educational issues are highly interrelated.

Definition and Summary

Many students have experienced situations throughout their educational career that have caused major dysregulation and long-term learning challenges. Often a past sentinel event or experience has left them feeling stuck, ineffective, or lost in their scholastic pursuits. At Monuments Academy™, we see a student’s educational journey as an equally important, but often overlooked, third pillar of healing. Our industry-leading educational program applies a revolutionary informed approach using metacognition to help students identify their own unique learning style, build ownership and ultimately  confidence with a series of “little successes” in a solutions-based learning environment.

Throughout their formative years, much of your student’s social and intellectual development has occurred in a classroom setting. With the benefit of hindsight, we’ve discovered worsening educational performance is often a leading indicator of a future psychological sentinel event. For many students, the stress from worsening education performance precipitates family conflict resulting in the need for residential treatment.

Despite the connection between mental health and classroom confidence the pillars of residential treatment are often clinical and experiential work. We believe in a holistic approach to healing with a curriculum that focuses on clinical, educational, and experiential growth. Click here to learn more about our Academic Therapy™ curriculum.
