Unlike more restrictive hospital-based day treatment programs, Steps to Success is fully community-based. This environment allows youth to remain living at home and maintaining a connection to their community while receiving intensive therapeutic intervention. Because many clients struggle to manage a full school day due to their mental health needs, they attend STS for up to four hours a day on a reduced academic schedule. Specific client schedules are determined through the assessment process and finalized at the admission appointment. The ultimate clinical goal is to stabilize their needs so they can successfully transition back into full-time schooling.
