PARTIAL PROGRAM

The Partial Program is designed to accept children who require a higher level of structure and support than traditional mental health outpatient treatment, but who are not showing the level of acuity that would necessitate mental health inpatient treatment. This allows the child to remain at home in their community while receiving mental health treatment and educational support.

The Partial Program uses an interdisciplinary team approach to provide a well-balanced, effective treatment system. The goal of treatment is to help students replace negative coping skills with pro-social and more effective behavior so that they can return to a less restrictive environment. The Partial Program treatment team consists of psychiatrist, program supervisor, masters level therapist, mental health specialists, academic support staff, and a nurse.
