Day Treatment Services

First Home Care offers day treatment services which provide intensive therapeutic interventions with individualized clinical programming to serve students with mental, behavioral, and/or emotional issues. Day treatment services are integrated within the daily classroom schedule to provide intensive therapeutic interventions and individualized clinical programming for students. These services aid the student in developing the coping skills necessary to sustain the academic process. Day treatment services are an affective intervention to prevent the need for a higher level of care.
