Eckerd Connects' Girls Short‑Term Juvenile Justice Residential Program is a gender responsive, complete rehabilitative experience delivered in 4 to 6 months for girls ages 13‑17. This 20‑bed program is for girls who are referred by the North Carolina Department of Public Safety Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (DJJ). During the 4‑6 month stay, the program assists young women in learning the skills and tools needed to successfully re‑integrate with their families, and back into their communities.

This residential treatment concept combines promising and evidence‑based practices with a strong family transition component and signifies a public‑private partnership with the Division of Juvenile Justice which has produced an innovative shift in the way youth are served in North Carolina's juvenile justice system. Intensive, short‑term services include individualized treatment and academic plans that combine formal and experiential education, community service, behavioral health, and family counseling in a non‑punitive environment designed to address the youth's behavioral challenges through a strength‑based approach.

Youth also receive accredited educational services on‑site and work together in small group settings with assigned counselors.
