Eva Carlston’s Vivid Safe House is committed to serving adolescents needing a respite or emergency placement. Vivid Safe House is an ideal option for students facing treatment disruption due to aggression, non-compliance, self-harm, requiring a brief reset with the intention of returning to the primary program, interrupted transport to the program, temporary placement while waiting for an open bed, or any other factor that might require a safe, structured environment while longer-term options are determined. With an emphasis on safety, individualized care, and stability, Vivid strives to meet the urgent needs of families seeking temporary solutions. “At Vivid Safe House, we understand that students sometimes need a pause to recalibrate,” said Kristi Ragsdale, Owner of Vivid Safe House. “Our mission is to provide a supportive, safe space where they can feel secure, valued, and ready to move forward. We aim to partner with families, programs, and referral partners to ensure every child receives the support they need during a particularly challenging time.” Located in a home setting, Vivid Safe House combines therapeutic resources, skilled staff, and a one-to-one staff-to-student ratio to create a positive and nurturing experience. Whether for a brief respite or an emergency placement, Vivid Safe House prioritizes every student's well-being and long-term success.
