CAMPUS DIVISION - OPERATES ON OUR 107 ACRE CAMPUS LOCATED ON THE NORTH YONKERS/HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON BORDER. THE CAMPUS DIVISION CONSISTS OF TWO MAJOR SERVICES: 1) Residential Services offers assessment, individual, group, family and milieu therapy (including several evidence-based models), special education, family engagement, parent skills training, recreation, psychiatric and nursing services, speech and language intervention, occupational therapy and physical therapy for children placed in our care by school districts, at times the Departments of Social Services, and on occasion through private placement contracts. The program is designed to assist children ages 5-16 and their families to manage and cope with a wide array of problems that have brought them into treatment including childhood trauma, autistic spectrum disorders, mental illness, learning disabilities and other adjustment problems. The children live in our housing units and receive full room and board in addition to the services outlined above.

The program is designed to assist children ages 5-16 and their families to manage and cope with a wide array of problems that have brought them into treatment including childhood trauma, autistic spectrum disorders, mental illness, learning disabilities and other adjustment problems. Children placed in our day program are most often from home school districts and on occasion through private placement contracts.
