Day Treatment

---

Our day treatment programs support children struggling with significant emotional and behavioral challenges. Children in our programs are often at risk of losing daycare placements, struggling academically, or facing school suspensions. Many times, these youth experience conflict and/or withdrawal at home and with their peers. 

Programming is three hours per day and up to five days per week. Each day features skills and therapy groups led by mental health practitioners and therapists. 

Because we believe caregivers are an essential part of helping children learn and grow, children in our day treatment programs also receive family therapy while enrolled. 

• Austin's day treatment program serves children ages 11-18.

• Faribault's day treatment program serves children ages 11-18.

• Owatonna's day treatment program serves children ages 3-10.

• Red Wing's day treatment program serves children ages 11-18.

• Rochester's day treatment program serves children 3-18.
