The
Birdseye Boys Ranch (BBR) is located in the
rural, mountain community of Birdseye, approximately 30 miles south of Provo, Utah. The
55-acre ranch has a beautiful mountainous backdrop and an abundance of clean
air, wildlife, and recreational opportunities. The surrounding area consists of land
governed
by the Division of Wildlife Resources, the Federal Bureau of Land Management,
Manti-La Sal National Forest, and the Uinta National Forest. In the ranch
setting, young men live outside the mainstream community and yet have access to
community resources for medical, dental, and recreational services.

The BBR is a community-based
residential program, providing care and specialized treatment for youth ages 13
through 18 who have inappropriate sexual issues. The program is
licensed and monitored by the State of Utah Department
of Human Services and is a member of NATSAP (National Association of Therapeutic
Schools and Programs). The program provides direct supervision with a one to
four
staff-to-youth ratio during the day and a one to six staff-to-youth ratio during
sleeping hours. By holding youth accountable for controlling impulses and
behavior and by emphasizing the need for treatment,
the program offers youth the opportunity to develop a new perspective on
relationships and achieve comprehensive rehabilitation.
