At Kurn Hattin, our goal is to support the well-being of the whole child—mind, body, heart, and spirit. In addition, we provide support and help connect families with appropriate resources to meet their unique situational needs.
Health Services and Health Center
Our nursing staff provides care for common illnesses and injuries in the campus infirmary. A child’s family continues to be responsible for regular physicals, eye, and dental exams and immunizations.
Health education plays an important role in helping the children to understand the importance of staying healthy, happy, and respectful of their bodies.
Please contact Shannon Niemiec, Director of Health Services at sniemiec@kurnhattin.org or call (802) 721-6903, with any questions.
Counseling Services
Our licensed, professional counselors offer one-to-one counseling sessions as well as group support for topics such as dealing with grief, building and maintaining peer relationships, and managing anger.
Counselors are available to meet with parents, guardians, and family members, whether to check in or to provide guidance on specific concerns or questions.
Please feel free to contact the Director of Counseling at (802) 721-6958 with any questions.
Family Outreach
Kurn Hattin’s Family Outreach Program is here to help families remain active participants in their child’s experience, as well as assist in the successful transition to and from Kurn Hattin. Our goal is to work collaboratively with families to ensure their child’s positive growth, while providing opportunities to help strengthen family relationships.
Family Outreach staff keep families updated regularly on children’s progress and campus events, and can assist with transportation arrangements.
Family members are encouraged to stay in touch with their child through phone calls and visits which are arranged with the residential staff.
Kurn Hattin will also help families develop and carry out a plan for a successful transition beyond our program, recognizing that this is different for each child and family. The Family Outreach Coordinator assists families in finding community resources for counseling, education, financial aid, and transportation assistance.
Working together, families and Kurn Hattin can offer children the opportunity for success and happiness.
Please feel free to contact Jarrod James, Family Outreach Coordinator, at jjames@kurnhattin.org or call (802) 721-6945, with any questions.
