Dominion Day Services is a clinical treatment program for children who are exhibiting ongoing difficulties in the home, community, or school. The goal is to cultivate a healthy and functional environment for children with emotional and behavioral problems, utilizing a holistic, family approach.

Dominion Day Service treats children between the ages of 5 and 16 years who have a mental health diagnosis. Children receive treatment for behavioral and emotional challenges while developing the necessary skills needed to succeed in school and the community. Parents and guardians are seen as an integral part of each child's treatment. They are involved in parent support groups, educational groups, and any individual meetings required for their child. The treatment program offers a highly structured curriculum based on the principles of behavior modification. The child also participates in daily therapeutic groups, which address a variety of issues including pro-social skills, anger management, and self-esteem.

Each child's treatment plan is developed to meet the individual needs of the child. Goals are developed by the staff, the child, and the parent in order to insure that the emotional and behavioral difficulties of each child are being addressed and appropriate goals are set. A child's treatment lasts for approximately one year.

Children must have an Axis I diagnosis to include, but not limited to ADHD, Disruptive Behavior Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, or Depression.

Children must be exhibiting behavior that is significantly different from most children their age, which is not the result of a developmental disability or mental retardation. These behaviors must be present for at least one year and are expected to continue without mental health interventions.

Children may have an Axis II diagnosis of Mild Mental Retardation (IQ must be 65 or above), providing they've demonstrated an ability to understand the behavior modification system in place. The child's ability to function and absorb the concepts taught at Dominion Day Services will be assessed and determined during the initial intake assessment held prior to admittance in the program.
