What is Day Treatment?

Our Day Treatment program is a therapeutic setting with an academic component, not just a school with therapy. We are focused on rehabilitation that lasts a lifetime.

Who is it for?

Our program works best with 7th-12th graders who are inward-acting (self-injurious, depressive, self-isolating, truant, PTSD, etc.) rather than outward-acting (bullying, aggressive towards others, etc.). We work with students with mental or emotional health challenges that make it difficult for them to succeed in a mainstream educational setting.

Is it an after-school program, or a full school?

Our Day Treatment program is a therapeutic setting with academic collaboration, rather than a school with therapeutic support. It lasts all day, Monday through Friday, consistent with school holidays and extending into the summer.

How does it work?

We work hard to create a calm, safe, regulated milieu so students feel decreased anxiety, increased connectedness and affiliation with others, and ongoing support from staff and peers. Our setting allows students to continue earning academic credits while working on improving overall functioning across home, school, and social interactions.

How long does it last?

Students are typically with us for 9-12 months, depending on their needs.

Do you have transportation for the students?

We offer transportation through the student’s home school district during the school months, Medical Transport, and by Headway van in the summer.

Do I need to live in a certain district to be eligible?

Because our program is in its own Intermediate District, you do not need to live in a specific district in order to attend. If you live in the counties in and around the Twin Cities metro area, you are eligible.
