“‘Therapeutic residential care’ involves the planful use of a purposefully constructed, multi‐dimensional living environment designed to enhance or provide treatment, education, socialization, support, and protection to children with identified mental health or behavioral needs in partnership with their families and in collaboration with a full spectrum of community‐based formal and informal helping resources.” (Whittaker et al., 2014, p. 24)
