HFML’s size and structure allow for a level of flexibility, responsiveness, and personalization that is often difficult to achieve in larger residential settings. Youth are supported in participating in shared meals, community activities, recreation, and daily routines that feel familiar, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate. These experiences are built directly into the daily rhythm of the program and are used intentionally to support connection, regulation, and skill development.
The program is grounded in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and shaped by clear practice commitments that guide daily decisions. Intake and orientation are team-based, with early attention to continuity of care, including medication coordination and rapid connection to providers. Youth voice is embedded into daily life through choice-making, incentives designed with youth input, and opportunities to shape activities and outings. Staff approach regulation, redirection, and repair as everyday coaching moments, using re-dos, options for movement or space, and calm guidance to help youth regain footing and re-engage.
HFML places strong emphasis on the range and purpose of daily experiences. Recreation, life skills, and community activities are varied by design and documented through a therapeutic calendar that links each activity to a clear goal. Park time, YMCA visits, team sports, cooking with peers, budgeting activities, gardening, volunteer days, games, and youth-selected outings are used to practice regulation, autonomy, teamwork, problem-solving, and follow-through. This variety allows youth to engage their bodies, creativity, and relationships while staff reinforce skills across settings. While service intensity may vary by each individual youth’s needs, the program maintains consistent routines, expectations, and caregiving practices to support stability and clarity for youth and staff.

At Hunting for More Love Residential Treatment Center, we use trauma-informed practices to support youth who have experienced adversity and disrupted attachments. Our goal is to help children build healthy relationships, regulate emotions, and develop important life skills.
Our program uses Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), an evidence-based model developed by Texas Christian University. TBRI focuses on building trust, strengthening relationships, and helping youth develop emotional regulation and life skills.
Connecting Principles — Building safe and healthy relationships between youth and caregivers.
Empowering Principles — Meeting physical and emotional needs through structured routines, nutrition, sleep, and sensory regulation.
Correcting Principles — Teaching appropriate behavior through guidance, redirection, and skill building rather than punishment.
Through this model, our staff create an environment where youth feel safe, supported, and empowered to heal and grow.
