Rehabilitation Skills Programs 

 

These programs are for children and youth ages 5 to 18 years of age with behavioral, social and emotional concerns. Our goal is to prevent further disruptions and to aid in the stabilization of the children/youth's lives so they can grow to become healthy, responsible adults.

 

After School/Day Treatment Program

 

Services Offered:
A variety of skills are taught including anger management, conflict resolution, impulse control skills, social skills and communication skills. There is homework/tutoring time and a recreation group as well. Program hours are 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Each child/youth attends the program three to five days a week depending on the special needs of the child. Transportation is provided. Each child is assigned a case manager who closely works with the child, family and other service providers, including the school, to provide an individualized treatment/service plan. 

How to access: 

Some insurance, such as Medicaid, will pay; most do not.  DCFS, DFS, Mojave Mental Health and other mental health professionals may fax a referral sheet to us.  Along with the referral sheet we must receive a Comprehensive Assessment.  If a child is Medicaid eligible a CASII completed in the last 90 days will need to be done as well.  Consents will also need to be signed by the DFS worker if the child is in custody of the county. 
Length of program: 

Can be as brief as twelve weeks.  In some cases it may be the recommendation of the team for the child to continue beyond the 12 weeks.

Children and youth ages 5 to 18 years old with behavioral and emotional concerns.  Youth must have a DSM-IV diagnosis; there is clinical evidence that the youth's condition requires a structured program with treatment that cannot be provided in a less intensive outpatient setting; there is adequate social support for youth to be able to maintain safety outside of the program; and, there is a reasonable expectation that the youth will improve demonstrably within the next 6 months.
