We hold group therapy sessions throughout each day for inpatients. Our days start with a community and goals group, so we begin our days on a positive note together. Our days end with a wrap-up group wherein we discuss the events and challenges of the day. In between those groups, we offer a variety of group therapies, including pet therapy. These groups cover topics such as:

• Activities and recreation
• Coping strategies
• Life skills
• Medication and health information
• Mental health processing
• Psychotherapeutic skills
• Therapy and processing

We help you build social skills and stay active through therapist-led recreation therapy. Activities include:
