Wesley Family Services Partial Hospitalization @ Deer Lakes

In partnership with Deer Lakes School District, Wesley Family Services’ Child & Adolescent Partial Hospital Program provides day treatment services for students grades K - 12 at Deer Lakes High School.

The program serves children from various school districts throughout Western Pennsylvania with intense mental health and psychological challenges with the goal of transitioning them back into traditional educational placement. The program provides comprehensive mental health treatment including individual, family, and group therapies as well as weekly psychiatric monitoring.

Students are referred through their home school district and/or local mental health providers. Students also receive academic instruction and support provided by Deer Lakes' educational staff.
