When a teen is struggling, BasePoint Academy Forney understands. They're a lifeline for families navigating adolescent mental health challenges.

Open seven days a week with transportation provided, they've thought of everything needed to make getting help as smooth as possible.
At BasePoint Academy, teen mental health care isn't about fixing something "broken" - it's about building resilience. Rather than shielding teens from adversity, they empower them by equipping them with skills to minimize the impact of suffering. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), they're teaching teens how to navigate life's challenges before those challenges become overwhelming. What makes BasePoint different is their belief that resilience is something that can be learned. By working closely with both teens and their families, they create a supportive ecosystem that doesn't just help teens survive their current struggles, but teaches them how to thrive in the future.
