Catholic Charities Child and Adolescent Day Treatment

Located near County Road 75 in St. Cloud, this nonprofit day treatment center supports youth in grades 1–12 with emotional and behavioral challenges. The program operates as a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and offers intensive outpatient program (IOP) through individual, group, and family therapy. Children who need more structured support than school-based or traditional outpatient services gain skills to improve functioning at home, in school, and within their communities.

Use Trauma-Informed Clinical Care

The team uses trauma-informed care supported by evidence-based practices to help youth process emotional pain and build coping strategies. Therapists tailor treatment plans using models like Resiliency and Health Realization, Social Thinking, and the Circle of Courage, which promotes positive youth development through belonging, independence, and generosity. The program blends clinical structure with social-emotional learning to support personal growth in a developmentally appropriate setting.

Foster Lasting Emotional Development

Clinicians integrate skill-building, peer interaction, and family engagement into daily routines. Each client participates in a full-day therapeutic environment focused on safety, stability, and progress toward individual goals. The program’s extended length, typically 6 to 12 months, allows youth to strengthen coping strategies, build supportive relationships, and improve emotional and behavioral functioning.
