Valley's children and youth day treatment program provides therapeutic services Monday through Friday during school hours. Our programs provide a safe and healing environment for your child to work through mental and behavioral health symptoms that cause problems in the home, at school, or in the community. Day treatment is more intensive than outpatient treatment but less intensive than hospitalization.
While in day treatment, your child will receive individual, family, and group therapy as well as skills groups throughout the day. During the school year, Valley partners with school districts to provide academic support to our clients to prevent them from falling behind in school, or to help them catch up. In the summer, we offer additional therapeutic activities and field trips.
Together, we will help your child address:
- Supportive stabilization
- Crisis management
- Coping skills
- Problem-solving
- Eliminating dysfunctional or risky behaviors
- And more
