## Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center Description
Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (MJTC) in Madison, WI, is a secure mental health treatment facility dedicated to fostering hope, health, and healing for youth with challenging behaviors and serious mental health issues. Unlike traditional sanctions-based approaches, MJTC employs intensive therapy to address the root causes of behavior, decompressing cycles of punishment and promoting positive change. The center provides comprehensive care, encouragement, treatment, and education, focusing on building trust to cultivate more acceptable choices, personal esteem, and autonomy.

MJTC's program includes individual and group activities and classes designed to help patients accept responsibility, develop social and problem-solving skills, resolve mental health issues, and build healthy relationships. The ultimate goal is to successfully reintegrate these young individuals into their communities. Research studies have demonstrated that youth treated at MJTC commit significantly fewer crimes post-release compared to similar youth who did not access the program.

Serving both boys and girls, MJTC expanded its campus to accommodate a larger patient population, with a capacity for 94 patients (74 boys and 20 girls) across nine specialized units. Patients are transferred from the youth justice system, including Lincoln Hills School, Copper Lake School, or county-run secure residential care centers, ensuring specialized treatment tailored to their security needs and responsiveness.
