For children who are continuing to attend school during the day, a School Based Program with afternoon hours provides ongoing care and community throughout the week, while benefiting the entire family with regular check-ins and support. With the opportunity to reduce or expand programming as needed, School Based is an ideal solution for young children who are progressing in treatment and need continued support to stay on the right path beyond what an individual therapy session can provide.

School Based Program Details
The School Based program serves children 3 to 12 years old with a significant mental health diagnosis that is interfering with their success in home and community settings.
Children receive a combination of group and individual services 3 to 4 times per week. This service may be received as a lower level of care when transitioning from the Day Treatment program, or as a higher level of care when transitioning from traditional outpatient counseling services.

- Monthly meetings will take place with the family and the treatment team to monitor progress and keep treatment on track toward discharge.
- Family therapy sessions will be provided as appropriate and applicable.
