Supporting Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults through Advocacy, Educational Consulting, and Creative Mental Health Planning
Some students who have completed a wilderness program, therapeutic boarding school, or residential treatment center may benefit from continuing their education at a traditional boarding school with added support to complete high school. We also assist families seeking a boarding school placement for students who do not require treatment beforehand, helping each student find the right environment to succeed.
With case management, families don’t have to navigate the process alone. A professional partner works alongside you to assess your student’s needs, design a personalized plan, coordinate services, and monitor progress.
This ongoing support ensures that both educational and mental health goals are met, while reducing stress and creating a sense of clarity and direction.
When students with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, and executive functioning challenges learn alongside peers with similar learning differences, they often experience something powerful: the space to truly understand themselves and build confidence.
Is your child or adolescent struggling to start or complete homework, stay organized, or prepare for exams?
Together, we’ll use a criteria-based approach to determine the most appropriate level of care. We partner with your professional team to review their clinical recommendations, create a clear plan, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
We only recommend schools, programs, or specialists that one of our consultants has personally visited or built a trusted professional relationship with. For over three decades, Horizon Family Solutions has developed a network of reliable resources nationwide and internationally.
Once a student is admitted, our involvement doesn’t end there—we continue to monitor progress and remain available to support you every step of the way.








Families who work with Horizon Family Solutions experience:
A broad understanding of high-quality programs, helping families identify the best-fit environments that support meaningful growth and positive change for students and young adults.
One-on-one support from a professional educational and therapeutic consultant who tailors recommendations to the unique clinical, academic, and emotional needs of your student or young adult.
Reduced stress and uncertainty through thoughtful planning, careful preparation, and an organized decision-making process.
The right time to start depends on the path you are considering:
Beginning the process early provides families with clarity about the steps ahead, easing stress and allowing for more informed decisions—while recognizing that urgent situations can arise, in which case we do our best to escalate timelines to meet immediate needs.
