Partial Care Day Program

---

This program operates from 8:30am - 4:00pm

The partial care day program is intended to help children avoid hospitalization or extended inpatient stay. Typically, these children have had histories of psychiatric hospitalization, residential treatment, or are at risk for such. This population of children require intensive care to remain active in their communities and do not require 24-hour supervision. 

When hospitalization is not necessary or no longer required, but outpatient services are too limited, Partial care may be appropriate. This program allows the child to return home each day after treatment, and begin transitioning to everyday living situations and challenges. These structured programs provide children with short-term treatment that is tailored to their level of functioning.
