Maryvale offers a program that combines school and treatment for adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 years who are experiencing significant or persistent problems in their community school and may also be experiencing conflict in their families and/or the community. This program operates in conjunction with the Greater Essex County District School Board.

The Day Treatment School Program offers a unique and comprehensive approach to education by seamlessly integrating mental health support with academic learning. Unlike traditional educational settings, this program recognizes that many students face complex mental health challenges that can significantly impact their ability to succeed academically. By combining mental health services with individualized academic pathways, the program addresses the unique needs of each student, fostering an environment where they can thrive both emotionally and intellectually.

One key benefit of the Day Treatment School Program is the personalized attention and support students receive through the multidisciplinary team. The integration of mental health services ensures that students have access to counseling, therapy, and other resources to address their individual needs. This intentional approach not only creates a safe and nurturing environment but also allows students to develop coping mechanisms and resilience, empowering them to overcome challenges both in the classroom and in their personal lives. As a result, students in these programs often experience improved mental well-being, which positively impacts their academic performance and overall educational experience.

Youth (ages 13-18) experiencing mild to severe mental health concerns and moderate to severe concurrent addictions issues are referred by a number of sources including self, parents/guardians, school staff, Children’s Aid Society, doctors/psychiatrists, etc.

Services and supports include individual, group and family therapy utilizing a variety of evidenced based therapeutic modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Brief Narrative Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.

The standard service is generally delivered within 12 to 20 sessions, usually on a weekly basis. It often involves both the youth and family. The approach focuses on exploring solutions, identifying available resources and developing new approaches to coping with emotions, thoughts and social situations.

Treatment plans may involve service coordination and collaboration with outside community services, assessments, consultations, case conferencing in keeping with each youth’s individual needs and goals. Discharge occurs when treatment goals have been met or it has been determined that further service will not result in additional progress.

Currently, these services are offered in person and virtually at five locations including Windsor (Maryvale Campus), Leamington, Essex, Belle River and LaSalle.
