Who benefits from Therapeutic After School Program?
Emotionally and behaviorally troubled youth ages 12-15 and their families
who are:
- In need of more intensive services than weekly counseling alone.
- Depressed or anxious.
- Experiencing behavior problems at home and school.
- In serious conflict with their families.
Who would not be appropriate for TASP?
Although TASP will serve a wide range of issues with youth and their
families, the program is not designed to work with everyone. While each
case will be evaluated individually, the following concerns will be better
served elsewhere:
- Youth charged/adjudicated for violent or sexual crimes.
- Those actively suicidal or suffering from psychosis.
- Those with a primary or only diagnosis of substance abuse/dependence.
- Anyone with significant developmental or cognitive delays.
