Behave'n Day Center

When children and adolescents are suffering from behavioral health and mental illness, the treatment they receive to overcome these struggles must be tailored specifically to their age, environmental situation, and developmental ability. Therapeutic interventions that are used when treating children and adolescents must meet them where they are to address any psychological, emotional, and behavioral concerns.

To passionately teach effective skills that change children's lives and ultimately changes our future. Working together with families and community to give children a chance; a chance at success, a chance for the future. Perhaps the biggest determinant of whether your child needs help is whether his/her symptoms and behaviors are getting in the way of everyday routine.
