Residential Youth Program Application - Conduct Disorder & Behavioral Support

Transform Lives Through Structured Support and Family-Centered Care

Finding the right residential program for a young person struggling with conduct disorder is a critical decision that affects their entire future. Our residential youth program application streamlines the intake process while ensuring we gather all the essential information needed to provide personalized, evidence-based care.

Designed for Youth Treatment Programs with a Restorative Approach

This application template is specifically built for residential programs, treatment centers, and therapeutic communities that serve youth with conduct disorders using restorative justice principles and family engagement therapy. Whether you're running a group home, therapeutic boarding school, or intensive residential treatment facility, this form captures everything you need to make informed placement decisions and begin building therapeutic relationships from day one.

The form thoughtfully collects behavioral history, family dynamics, educational background, and mental health information while maintaining a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that aligns with restorative justice values.

Comprehensive Assessment in One Professional Form

Instead of juggling multiple PDFs, email threads, and phone calls with families in crisis, Paperform consolidates your entire intake process into one branded, easy-to-complete application. Families can work through sections at their own pace, save progress, and submit when ready—reducing the stress of an already difficult situation.

The form includes conditional logic that adapts based on responses, ensuring you only ask relevant follow-up questions. For example, if a youth has prior residential placements, additional fields appear to gather details about those experiences. This creates a more respectful, efficient experience for families while giving your clinical team the depth of information they need.

Built for Behavioral Health and Social Service Organizations

This template addresses the unique needs of organizations providing trauma-informed care for youth with challenging behaviors. It includes sections for:

• Youth and family information with emergency contacts and household composition
• Behavioral and clinical history including diagnoses, medications, and previous interventions
• Educational background and accommodations to ensure continuity of learning
• Legal and custody information for youth involved with juvenile justice systems
• Family engagement assessment to gauge readiness for family therapy components
• Behavioral contract acknowledgment establishing expectations from the start
• Consent and authorization for treatment, emergency care, and information sharing

The language throughout maintains a collaborative, non-judgmental tone that recognizes families are seeking help, not punishment—perfectly aligned with restorative justice philosophy.

Streamline Intake and Accelerate Placement Decisions

Time matters when a family is in crisis. Paperform helps you move faster by automatically organizing submissions, sending confirmation emails with next steps, and integrating with your existing systems. Connect submissions directly to your CRM, case management software, or Google Sheets so your clinical team can begin reviewing applications immediately.

Use Paperform's calculation fields to auto-score risk assessments or determine appropriate levels of care based on responses. Set up email notifications to alert different team members when applications meet certain criteria, ensuring urgent cases get immediate attention.

Automate Follow-Up with Stepper Workflows

Take your intake process even further by connecting this form to Stepper, Paperform's AI-native workflow automation platform. When a family submits an application, Stepper can automatically:

• Create a case file in your electronic health record or case management system
• Schedule intake interviews and send calendar invites to families
• Route high-acuity applications to clinical supervisors for immediate review
• Generate welcome packets and pre-admission checklists
• Send reminders about missing documentation or required medical records
• Track application status and update families throughout the review process

This level of automation frees your staff to focus on what matters most—providing exceptional care—while ensuring nothing falls through the cracks during the critical intake period.

Secure, Compliant, and Trusted by Healthcare Organizations

When working with vulnerable youth and sensitive behavioral health information, security isn't optional. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant with robust data encryption, secure file uploads, and role-based access controls. While Paperform is not HIPAA compliant, it provides enterprise-grade security suitable for non-PHI portions of your intake process.

You can collect consent forms, upload supporting documents, and gather family information with confidence, knowing your data is protected by the same security standards trusted by over 500,000 organizations worldwide.

Perfect for Mental Health and Social Service Professionals

This template is ideal for:

• Residential treatment centers serving youth with conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and co-occurring conditions
• Therapeutic group homes using trauma-informed, family-centered care models
• Juvenile justice diversion programs implementing restorative practices
• Mental health nonprofits providing intensive community-based services
• Social workers and case managers coordinating placements for at-risk youth
• Family therapists who integrate residential components into treatment plans

The form speaks the language of behavioral health professionals while remaining accessible to families from all backgrounds, including those with limited literacy or technology access. The clean, mobile-friendly design ensures families can complete applications on any device.

Customizable to Your Program's Unique Approach

Every residential program has its own philosophy, structure, and admission criteria. Paperform's intuitive editor makes it easy to customize this template to reflect your specific therapeutic approach. Add questions about your program's core values, modify behavioral contract language, include your organization's logo and branding, or adjust conditional logic to match your screening process.

Change fonts, colors, and layouts to create a welcoming, on-brand experience that reduces anxiety and builds trust from the very first interaction. You can even add video messages from staff or current residents to help families feel more connected to your community.

• Weekly behavioral progress reports and goal tracking
