Founded in 1899 by Harry Augustus Pevear of Lynn, MA, the
Stetson School was originally an orphanage known as the Stetson
Home. The Stetson School is located on 200 acres, and is
a long-term (average stay is about 18-months), 120-bed residential
treatment
center for sexually reactive boys ages 9-21 who have engaged
in sexually abusive behaviors.
Stetson utilizes an integrated relapse prevention model with
'state-of-the-art' stage system of treatment. The boys are
assigned to teams based on their age and maturity levels.
The academic component is a fully licensed, Massachusetts
State Chapter 766 approved school for students working at
or above their grade level, as well as for students who have
specific learning disabilities. Stetson currently treats
a population with a wide scope of inappropriate sexual behaviors.
These treatment programs include Adolescent Sexual Abusers,
the latency-aged Sexually Reactive program, the Alternative
Learning
Program
(ALP's) for cognitively impaired students, and the Sexual
Misconduct program.
Stetson also offers an extended youth services component
for boy’s ages 18-21, who are transitioning from another sexual
offender program and motivated to continue treatment. These
students must be physically and mentally able to participate
in the treatment program and have a history of sexually offending
behaviors.
