| Transitional Residences for At-Risk Children |
| What is It? |
| T.R.A.C. is Maine's newest transitional (or "Bridge") home for children who are between foster placements, recently out of hospital, or recently removed from homes of origin. |
| Where is it? |
| T.R.A.C. is a beautiful two story colonial home that sits on a tree lined knoll in the center of Lisbon Falls. The official address is 672 Lisbon Road, Lisbon, Maine 04250 |
| Who can use this facility? |
| Children between the ages of nine and fourteen who have behavioral difficulties, attachment problems, and emotional disturbances. More profoundly troubled children, (i.e., psychotic, extremely suicidal) would be referred to more appropriate treatment facilities. |
| When will T.R.A.C. be accepting referrals? |
| Hopefully by the first of January, 2000. Keep visiting this website to find out our exact opening date. We will only have six beds, but children can stay from 60-90 days, so there will be steady turnover. |
