Who it’s for

  • Typically ages 12-17 with dysregulation, trauma stress, school refusal, early substance experimentation, and after-school risk window exposure.
  • Common referrals: schools, CPS/JFS, juvenile court, pediatric BH, caregivers.

What we deliver

  • Skills groups each program day (CBT/DBT-informed regulation, executive function, refusal skills, social skills).
  • CPST and school coordination (IEP/504, attendance plans, transportation).
  • Caregiver engagement: weekly touchpoint; monthly family session minimum or per need.
  • Safety planning and crisis routing protocols; UDS only when clinically indicated/authorized and not punitive.

Dosage & schedule (typical)

Final schedules and tracks will be published at activation.

  • Typical schedule: 3-5 days/week (e.g., 3:00-8:00) depending on authorization/model.
  • Typical episode: 6-12 weeks (extend to 16 with justification).

Admission & exclusions (plain language)

  • Good fit: needs structured after-school therapeutic milieu but does not require 24/7 containment.
  • Not a fit: active high-lethality SI/HI, acute intoxication/withdrawal, need for residential/24-hr supervision.

Care coordination

  • Partners: school teams, caregivers, CPS/JFS, juvenile court, primary care.
  • ROI posture: no partner contact without ROI unless mandated; document ROI status in coordination notes.
  • Closed-loop: documented outcomes for every referral/linkage.

Outcomes we track

  • Improved school attendance and reduced behavioral incidents.
  • Skill use (regulation/refusal/executive function) demonstrated over time.
  • Caregiver engagement and safety plan completion.
  • Retention and documentation compliance.
