Coral Tree is a state wide tertiary referral service that aims to assist the families of children showing mental health, behavioural, emotional, and relationship difficulties.
The majority of reviewers describe Coral Tree as a turning point for families dealing with serious behavioural challenges, consistently praising the staff as caring, professional, and skilled at teaching practical parenting strategies such as emotion coaching. Several parents report that the residential program gave their families a sense of hope and concrete tools after years of struggling, with some noting diagnoses were made during their stay. However, multiple 1-star reviews raise serious concerns, including allegations of children being physically restrained, locked in rooms, and experiencing lasting trauma — one reviewer states they developed PTSD from their time there as a child — and these accounts should be weighed carefully by any parent considering this service.
