3 Day Weekend Intensive

Our 3 day weekend intensive in Lake Forest (year round) or Big Bear Lake (late Spring, Summer and early Fall) California is a convenient way to kick-start an individualized outpatient treatment program. This program supports both adolescent and adult clients. On a long weekend (Friday, Satuday and Sunday) clients and their family (parents, significant others) participate in a total of about 9 hours of programming. This includes clinical evaluation, career and occupational assessment, individual and family counseling and treatment planning for ongoing care. With only about 3 hours per day of structured activities, the remainder is available for leisure. This allows the weekend to serve as a mini-vacation away from many of the distractions (and tech devices) at home. Transportation, living accommodations and leisure activites are not provided.

Note - If you are already working with a mental health professional, we will work WITH THEM to coordinate care before and after the weekend intensive.
