Steps To Success Day Treatment (STS) is a program that provides comprehensive mental health service to middle school youth, male and female, ages 10-14 who are struggling in their home, school and/or community environments due to mental health and behavioral challenges. These children are unable to sustain full school programming and require an intensive mental health intervention to get back on track. Youth may present with both mental health and juvenile justice issues. To fill out our Steps to Success Referral Form, please click here. Please send all referrals to Mark Cogdill at markc@fsmad.org.
