Programs offered
Nexus programs are designed to keep families engaged throughout the treatment process—and to ensure wrap-around support is needed during this difficult time. While we’re helping youth build skills and stability in their lives, we’ll also help the rest of the family deal with the impact of trauma and mental health issues.
Please note, all youth active in our Oregon programs have been court-appointed by the state of Oregon.
Psychiatric residential treatment facility
Ages 10-17 Males and females
Walden Crossing provides individualized, trauma-informed Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) services for up to six youth, ages 10-17 with mental and developmental disabilities who have become involved in the justice system.
This location offers secure placement and clinical services during this pause in the youth’s life when the court ordered it. Our professional, expert staff offer assessments, and a healing environment for the youth while the large legal and justice issues are being sorted through and restorative services are being provided. Youth experience on-campus education, individualized programming, and therapy and recreational opportunities.
The planning and treatment courses we provide are highly individualized and based on the needs and abilities of each youth and staff work with families to create strong planning upon discharge and provide support to those plans. As a secure PRTF location, Walden Crossing has high staff to youth ratios as well as 24/7 nursing, recreational and therapeutic professionals, psychiatric services, and an array of other types of therapies as indicated. We work together, as a team, to restore hope and reshape futures.
Restorative services
Ages 11-18 Males and females
The restorative services program serves youth ages 11-18, who have some level of court involvement and require the evaluation of their fitness to proceed with their legal participation. A team of forensic psychologists and social service professionals, following a highly structured curriculum, will work with youth on a weekly basis. All youth involved in the program will be referred to Nexus by the state of Oregon and may be in a residential or community-based setting. We are honored to provide this service and fill a gap in care.
“We create space where kids can heal, grow and actualize their potential.”
For professionals and referral partners
All youth active in this PRTF program have been court-appointed by the state of Oregon.

From the blog
Empathy Is Essential in Residential Treatment
We are quick to judge parents, even when we don’t know the backstory. In residential treatment, we work hard to recognize the parent’s effort in trying to find help for their child, no matter how they show up throughout the treatment process.

Helping Teens Build a Healthier Relationship with Social Media
Social media is a primary source of connection for many, but it’s crucial—especially for youth—to balance online interaction with real-life socialization. Being intentional about how we engage with content and having open and honest conversations about responsible usage can help set boundaries that support mental well-being.
