DAY TREATMENT
Our Day Treatment Program is designed to support children ages 9 to 18 who have experienced trauma, abuse, severe neglect, and who are facing serious mental health challenges.
Day Treatment services are available year-round and provide a safe, structured, and supportive place for youth who need more intensive care than outpatient or lower levels of care can provide. This program is particularly beneficial for children who require intensive support but do not need a full residential placement.
Each child attends programming during the school day and returns home each evening and weekend, keeping families and caregivers connected and involved.
What the Program Includes
Each child is paired with a dedicated therapist who provides weekly individual therapy, with family therapy included when appropriate. Our clinical team also includes a psychiatrist who regularly evaluates each child’s progress alongside a clinical psychologist who oversees and supports the therapeutic work of the team. This collaborative approach ensures that every child receives holistic, tailored care.
Youth receive a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions and academic support through The Bansbach Academy, our on-site accredited school. Interventions include individual therapy, group therapy, experiential therapy, family therapy (when appropriate), and skill-building focused on coping, communication, and emotional regulation. We also offer experiential therapeutic activities that may include art, music, movement, yoga, horticulture, and animal-assisted therapy.
By addressing both mental health needs and academic goals, we help children build skills that support their development and prepare them for a successful future.
Why It Matters
When youth receive support early and consistently, they are more likely to stay connected to school, avoid higher levels of care, and build stronger relationships at home and in their communities.
“I felt cared for and supported there. They taught me how to stay calm and focus on getting through the moment.”
