Day Treatment Centers

Positive Education Program’s Day Treatment Centers serve school-age children and youth who have been diagnosed with an emotional disturbance in an integrated educational and mental health environment. These centers serve as both the school and the therapeutic treatment center for these children and youth. PEP’s ten centers – Eastwood, Greenview, Harbor Cleveland and Lakewood, Hopewell, Midtown, Phoenix Place, Phoenix Point, West Bridge, West Shore and Willow Creek – are located throughout Northern Ohio and have the ability to serve children with multiple disabilities.

The Re-ED philosophy provides the framework that creates a therapeutic environment where there are expectancies for normal, healthy behavior, where competence is stressed, and where energy is focused on finding and building strengths that promote positive growth.

Behavioral strategies and positive interventions and supports provide the predictability, structure and consistency young people need to succeed. Individual and group meetings, lessons, and activities are used to teach new ways of perceiving, thinking, feeling and behaving. Individualized programming builds functional skills and academic competence that promote cognitive and social-emotional growth and development.
