About this facility
Nexus Gerard Family Healing provides residential and outpatient mental health care and family support for individuals ages 6-18. They treat individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and behavioral problems. The center employs a family-centered approach, emphasizing healing and keeping families together.
The center's approach incorporates therapies like individual, group, and family counseling, along with psychiatric assessments. It also utilizes specialized trauma therapies such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), as well as experiential therapies involving sensory activities or animal interactions. These methods help individuals process trauma, develop coping skills, and build stronger family relationships, fostering emotional growth and stability.
The facility is set on a 12-acre campus in Austin, Minnesota, that was once the Hormel Estate. They provide a homelike setting with cozy bedrooms, a family living room, gardens, and trees. The campus also offers outdoor recreation areas, community gardens, comfortable common spaces, and an on-site K-12 school.
