School-Based Services
Therapeutic Day Treatment is a program that operates within schools and aims to address mental health, emotional, behavioral, and substance abuse challenges that may hinder effective learning. Our TDT counselors are trained to implement strategic interventions that are specifically designed to address disruptive behaviors without disrupting the classroom setting.
Effective interventions not only improve the classroom environment but also enable educators to teach effectively. When our counselors intervene immediately, they help children redirect problem behaviors, allowing them to return to learning while safeguarding the learning environment for their classmates.
