Self-Harm & Trauma - Denver Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Program For Teens

Self-Harm & Trauma - Denver Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Program For Teens

Decade2Connect offers an intensive outpatient program to support children and their families who are struggling to cope with mental health issues. Running for a period of between 9 and 12 weeks, the new program focuses on the family system and consists of three in-person meetings per week, two of which focus on the child and one on the family as a whole.

Experiential therapy involves participating in and reflecting on various activities.  The program refers to treatment as healing and highlights three components that are integral to recovery. The first component teaches children how to connect thoughts, feelings, bodily-felt senses, and actions by learning how emotions work and how to identify them.

Children develop regulation skills, tolerance skills, coping skills, self-care, and prevention skills. The second component aims to connect families through positive communication and team-building exercises.

It teaches you about the importance of self-care and explains how to provide support when emotions are high. The final component focuses on how to apply learned skills to social situations outside of the family.

It teaches teamwork skills and how to gain and maintain positive peer relationships whilst exploring concepts of self-respect and boundaries. If you think you need a little extra support, call Decade2Connect at (303-674- 6681) today and access the help you and your children need!
