Each child and teen’s academic coursework and therapeutic sessions in the day-treatment program focus on developing skills and strategies to achieve their behavioral health goals. Key components of our program include:
- Self Advocacy – Allows children and adolescents to identify their needs, set and achieve realistic goals, and actively manage their disability.
- Group Therapy – Space to process their emotions and discuss their successes and challenges with a mental health professional and their peers.
- Licensed Clinicians – All REACH staff in day treatment are licensed clinicians who have the qualifications and experience to ensure clients can heal, grow, and thrive.
Referrals made to the Day Treatment Program must come through the Special Education Department of the child’s public school district. For more information on enrolling a child, please contact the school office of your nearest Education Alternatives building.
