Summer Program

Our summer program provides structured mental health support and engaging activities for children and adolescents throughout the summer, focusing on promoting personal growth, enhancing social interaction, and fostering mental well-being. It offers a safe, nurturing environment where children with emotional, behavioral, or social challenges can continue receiving treatment and support outside of the traditional school year. The program includes individual and group therapy, social skills development, behavioral interventions, recreational activities, and skills building components designed to strengthen emotional regulation, communication, and coping strategies. The program prevents regression over the summer through continuity of care.
