Perimeter Behavioral of Jackson

About this facility

This provider supports children and teens through inpatient care for ages 6–17 and residential treatment for teens 12–17. The programs help youth manage trauma, depression, anxiety, and emotional challenges through structured routines, group support, and developmentally appropriate therapeutic activities. The center uses trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and trust-based relational intervention (TBRI) to guide youth in building emotional regulation, understanding past experiences, and practicing healthy behaviors. Licensed clinicians lead daily groups, individual sessions, and family therapy while helping youth set goals, strengthen communication, and prepare to rejoin school and home life. Youth live in gender-specific units with shared rooms and daily routines. Each day includes nutritious meals a nutritionist designs, academic support, indoor activity rooms, and time outside in a turfed courtyard. Recreation therapy, team-based activities, and consistent staff guidance help youth stay engaged and work toward treatment goals.
