Vermont Builds Home for At-Risk Youth

Vermont is set to open a new 24-hour youth treatment center in South Burlington, designed for teens aged 12-18 with serious mental health and behavioral challenges—especially those in the justice system. With 14 beds total, eight will serve crisis youth awaiting court decisions, and six will support long-term care for justice-involved teens. The facility aims to keep vulnerable kids in-state, avoiding out-of-state placements and offering tailored, local care. Construction is expected to begin next spring, marking a major step toward a more responsive and supportive system for at-risk youth.
