Day Programs
The Mental Health Day Hospital Program are groups that run 4 days per week from 9:30am – 3:00pm. This program consists of an inter-disciplinary Treatment Team that works in conjunction with community agencies, your physician, your family and you. A mental health clinician will assist the you in developing your individual goals and work with you to monitor your success.
