CHILDREN’S THERAPEUTIC PARTIAL CARE DAY PROGRAM

For over 35 years, MHCP has provided high quality mental health services and intensive day treatment for children and families. Our children’s programs provide a highly specialized, intensive treatment approach that includes daily support and encouragement, behavioral group therapy, individual therapy, psychiatric evaluation and monitoring, and individual and family intervention.

Children who are exhibiting behavioral and emotional difficulties at home, in the classroom or in the community can get the support and tools they need for improving social interactions, coping with stress, managing emotion and self-regulation.

Our goal is to provide a structured treatment environment in which daily activities and interactions are therapeutically designed for the purpose of building developmentally appropriate social skills, coping skills, self-expression and self-confidence for children between the ages of 2 ½ and 6 years old.

Our compassionate and creative staff at the Ida Gurtman Therapeutic Children’s Programs provide a fun and positive atmosphere for children.  Through a series of structured and creative group activities, our clients are introduced to the therapeutic tools they need for developing social skills and improved social interaction, coping with stress and frustration, identifying and expressing emotions and self-regulation.  Steady therapeutic chatter and praise in the group room provide the reinforcement necessary for our clients to feel good about their accomplishments and progress.  Parent sessions provide parents with strategies and interventions that can be implemented at home and in the classroom so parents can participate in their child’s progress.  Our board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist provides psychiatric evaluation and monitoring, as well as medication intervention when needed.
