What is the Mood and Anxiety Day Treatment Service?
The Day Treatment Program is a group-based service that provides an inter professional team approach for people who require time-limited group therapy and transitional care. This service utilizes the group milieu as the primary therapeutic intervention and is intended to supplement and not replace ongoing clinical care such as individual psychotherapy, extensive case management, housing support, or other specialized services. This program offers three streams of group therapy based on best practices for individuals with mood and anxiety diagnoses to include skill building, CBT approaches, psychoeducation, interpersonal effectiveness and recovery strategies. Clients using this service collaborate with program staff to set realistic goals and to determine which group (s) will best suit their needs.
We promote recovery, independence, and hope, in a respectful, mutually responsible and collaborative treatment environment.
