The Burn Institute’s Juvenile Firesetter Program works directly with your family to provide valuable fire and burn prevention education including the consequences of playing with fire.
The Juvenile Firesetter Program consists of one 2-hour session held at the Burn Institute. It requires the participation of the child and at least one parent or guardian. The session is set in a casual setting where confidential interviews are conducted with the child and parent to determine the reason behind the firesetting behavior. Trust is built through a mutual agreement, and at the end of the session, a contract is drawn up between the child, parent, and the Burn Institute stating that fire is a tool and needs to be used carefully and responsibly.
The Burn Institute’s Juvenile Firesetter Program is FREE and is available in English and Spanish. To schedule an appointment, please call (858) 541-2277
