Therapeutic Milieu

Milieu refers to the treatment environment.  The Child Partial Hospitalization Program promotes success both within and outside the program by creating a nurturing and respectful milieu in which children feel safe and valued.  Challenging behavior is viewed as the result of deficits in particular skills, and the focus of treatment is teaching these skills.  

Our experienced staff help children learn skills to better manage emotions, improve relationships with others, and meet academic expectations.  

The Collaborative Problem-Solving Approach of Dr. Ross Greene forms the core of this work.
