Mental Health Program |
The enriched treatment program consists of five major components:
- Assessment and treatment planning
- Individual and family therapy
- DBT Skills training groups
- Coaching in the group home milieu and community
- Consultation to the treatment providers
Each client is assigned to attend individual therapy at a minimum of one hour per week and, if family is available and willing the child may receive as much as four hours or more per month of family therapy. Family involvement is solicited and supported.
Children are assigned to attend DBT skills and acquisition and practice groups as well as other groups indicated through assessment and evaluation of specific needs. One of the essential underpinnings of the model of treatment is that learning new skills requires extensive practice in a variety of settings and that the skills need to be generalized into the clients “real life arenas.” |
