Firesetters Protocol

Germaine Lawrence is the only program in New England that offers firesetting treatment specially designed for girls. We provide gender specific treatment to ensure development and emotional success for all of our students.

In collaboration with the Massachusetts Coalition for Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Programs, we developed a multi-stage cognitive-behavioral firesetting protocol designed for adolescent girls that leads to a successful transition to a less restrictive setting.

The program received The Massachusetts Coalition of Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Programs’ Clinical Community Service Award.
