Mount Pleasant Academy is a Treatment Center designed to assist adolescents and families who may be struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, sensitive sexual issues, and/or digital addictions. It is a 16 bed facility for males ranging from ages 12 - 18 years. Mt Pleasant Academy takes a holistic approach in treating adolescences with sexual behavioural issues. We combine Evidence-Based Therapy with, Academic Support, Positive Peer Culture, Enrichment Activities, Physical and Mental Well-being, and a Team who not only cares, but is trained to identify and address complex sexual issues in a group home setting.

We recognize several advantages to our approach. We understand that it may be very difficult for a student with sexual issues to be open and honest about their problems, and may even fear becoming labelled and/or stigmatized. We believe once removed from their previous influences and placed in an environment that provide the structure, unconditional acceptance, parenting, and security with a Team of licensed caring, each student will have the opportunity to genuinely address their personal-sexual issues.
