Day Programs
Our Day Programs are voluntary, community‐based, face‐to‐face therapeutic services. They are intended to help individuals with mental health and co‐occurring challenges develop the skills necessary to live fulfilling, productive lives in the community and living environment. The individual receiving the service is the primary contributor in the planning, development, and management of their goals and supporting activities. The role of the provider agency is to collaborate with both the individual participating in services ‐ and their other supports – to identify goals, develop skills necessary to achieve these goals, and obtain supports required to maintain these skills. During the Day Programs, our staff spends the majority of their time working hands-on with an individual in a group setting to promote the transfer of new skills into the natural environment.
