Children's Day Treatment Services
While living at home, students attend school and receive a range of treatment services. Services include individual, family and group therapy, psychiatric treatment and medication management, individualized education curriculum, crisis intervention, remedial training and vocational preparation. In addition to academic classes and therapy sessions, students attend socialization and recreational programs. The overall mission of the program is to help students achieve their academic potential while developing self-esteem and a positive association with learning. The mission of day treatment is providing and maintaining services to children in their home communities.
