We are greatful for Natchez and the miracle working staff. Our 15 year old was unreachable before Natchez. He had so many behaviors that were leading him to some life altering diagnosis. He had been in the unruly program and just wouldn't change until Natchez. Everyone there held him to account and made him deal with his stuff. He went in an angry self destructive kid with no hope in himself to a smiling, responsible sweet natured young man I always knew was I there. We have hope in our home...

My son was recently released from Natchez Trace. The purpose and structure of the program is awesome, but with any program it has bugs to work out and weed out. But my overall opinion is, this is a wonderful program to help troubled young men grow and learn to become good men. Mrs. Shumaker, my son's therapist, was wonderful and never gave up on him. I can not thank you enough for every zoom call, every email, every minute you gave to my son and me and to getting him home! Thank you to so ...

My son came to natchez trace in April. He did complete the program at first it was hard a few bumps n the road with a couple of the staff members but the situation was addressed and we never had a problem after that. My son therapist Mrs dawn Bennett was awesome and I met another worker Mrs Jackson that made it even easier for both me and my son. Over all I'm pleased with the program. It helped him so yeah I give them a 9 out of 10

Great place to work if you are truly committed to helping the youth change their thinking patterns. Staff care about the youth and really work hard to meet their needs. Great place to mentor youth and develop relationships that will last a lifetime. The staff are truly turning the students into better sons, brothers, uncles, dads, friends, and most importantly positive men.

Mrs Fisher-Jump is the best therapist/person that they have at this facility. In this day and time were racism (Caucasian staff calling the brown kids N***ER) is so high she is like a saint. Her heart is pure and she truly has a calling on her life to help these trouble young men. Mrs . Taylor- therapist and Mrs.Williams-Team lead are mean girls who have turned into bitter older woman they seem to work together with their shenanigans (who really shouldn't have a job there). They play alot of ...

My son has been at Natchez Trace for a week. They only let me talk to him for 5 min. It is obvious something is wrong with my child but nobody will contact me. I have left multiple messages for his therapist to call me. No return calls. Today I tried to talk to administration about the issue and they just sent me to another voicemail and refuse to answer the phones. When my son was referred to this place social workers promised me I would get zoom visits with him daily so I would know my chil...
