Admissions and Outreach Team

The admissions team at Open Sky is comprised of caring and compassionate professionals. With years of experience in mental health and wilderness treatment, we are available around the clock to assist families during this stressful and challenging time.  We believe that our number one priority is not getting a family to enroll at Open Sky, but to assist them in finding solutions for their son or daughter.
