About NATSAP
The National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP), founded in 1999, is a non-profit professional membership organization representing a wide range of therapeutic schools and programs dedicated to supporting struggling youth and their families. NATSAP advocates for and supports the ethical and professional development of residential treatment centers, therapeutic boarding schools, and wilderness therapy programs. NATSAP is not a licensing or accrediting body; instead, the focus is on fostering collaboration, providing education, and promoting best practices within the therapeutic industry. The Association aims to advance therapeutic care and ensure the highest standards for programs serving youth in need of emotional, behavioral, and mental health support.
