Collaborative Day Treatment Program When a youth is unable to attend a community school because of cognitive, emotional, social and/or behavioural problems, the Collaborative Day Treatment Program provides an option to meeting the particular educational and treatment needs of that youth. Through a multiple agency partnership, and within an integrated Classroom model, the Collaborative Day Treatment Program's goal is to provide a successful learning experience for youth by promoting their knowledge, skills, values, and enhancing their life options. The Program provides a structured and safe learning environment that enables youth to take the necessary risks to reach their intellectual, physical, and emotional potential. The program consists of two classrooms, with each having a unique focus. The Alternative Classroom serves the needs of high-risk youth exhibiting behavioural and emotional difficulties. The goal of the Alternative Classroom is to assist youth expand their problem solving abilities, increase accountability, responsibility for personal behaviour and advance their academic skills and knowledge. The Transitional Classroom provides youth experiencing behavioural and emotional difficulties a closely monitored environment, which supports a return to a community school classroom. The Transitional Classroom staff also provides support to the youth and the school during this reintegration period. The Collaborative Day treatment Program's staff consists of a teacher, Youth and Family workers who consult with a psychologist to review each youth's educational, treatment plan.
