Fort Myers Academy is a residential treatment program for female youth, ages 13 to 18, who have been identified as moderate risk and in need of delinquency intervention, Substance Abuse Overlay Services (SAOS), and Intensive Mental Health Overlay Services (MHOS). Located in Fort Myers, Florida, the program operates in partnership with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice and serves up to 28 young women in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.

Our trauma-informed, strengths-based setting fosters emotional safety, resilience, and personal growth. Each youth receives a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan supported by 24/7 access to medical and psychiatric care, as well as targeted clinical interventions.

Educational services are provided through Florida Scholars Academy, complemented by career and technical training in First Aid/CPR, OSHA and Forklift, and ServSafe certification. Youth also benefit from recreation therapy, structured pro-social activities, family engagement, and transition planning.

Through evidence-based practices and a youth-centered approach, Fort Myers Academy empowers young women to develop accountability, build emotional well-being, and gain the tools needed to thrive beyond the program.
