National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs

The National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP) is a United States trade organization of therapeutic schools, residential treatment programs, wilderness programs, outdoor therapeutic programs, young adult programs, and home-based residential programs for adolescents and young adults with emotional and behavioral difficulties. NATSAP is associated with the Troubled teen industry.

NATSAP is not an accrediting or licensing body, though it offers a membership program via which member institutions can advertise themselves as NATSAP approved. In order to be members, schools and programs are said to be required to be in full compliance with NATSAP's published Ethical Principles and Principles of Good Practice. According to NATSAP, there is no process to assess compliance. The organization publishes a professional journal, the Journal of Therapeutic Schools and Programs, conducts conferences and workshops, and publishes a directory of its members. Schools that are NATSAP members often refer to themselves as "accredited" by the organization, and typically display NATSAP seals on their websites.
