The Green Chimneys Residential Treatment Center includes a complete staff of on-site clinical and direct care professionals to provide therapeutic support and supervision to the children in the residential program.
The Clinical Administration Team maintains an active educational/training component, conducting regular clinical seminars for staff, hosting graduate students through prestigious internship programs, and participating in clinical research activities.
Donkeys Gracie and Reba have been residents of the farm since 1996 and are particularly valuable partners for the children because they offer immediate feedback on behavior. They are patient, shy and headstrong but because donkeys only acknowledge humans who appear calm, this pair helps children learn the skills necessary to approach them gently and quietly. Gracie and Reba also have an extraordinary bond and have difficulty being apart so students must keep this in mind, even for basic tasks such as walking them. If the donkeys lose sight of each other they will start calling to one another so students work together to make sure the pair can see each other for their entire journey outside.
