“Community based services: in-home: families that are served in this program have often struggled to succeed in other therapeutic settings. We employ a variety of evidenced- based and trauma-informed interventions ranging from experiential therapies (sand tray, play therapy, art therapy, and animal-assisted therapy) to more traditional talk therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt) and dialectical behavioral therapy (dbt). Treatment is tailored to meet the needs of each family. Day treatment: our day treatment program serves children ages 9 to 18 who have experienced trauma, abuse, severe neglect, and are diagnosed with a serious mental illness. These clients come five days a week for therapeutic and educational services. All day treatment clients are enrolled in our on-site accredited school, the bansbach academy. Services are offered year-round.”

“Discovery home and inspire home: these specialized programs offer supportive, transitional housing for adolescents with the goal of helping low-income and at-risk high school students prepare for the future.

In both homes, residents receive support and training in education, employment, life skills, home management, character-building and individualized and group mental health counseling.”
