If you are a parent or guardian to an individual trying to work through an eating disorder, you have extra things to focus on: you want them to get the much-needed treatment they need but don’t want it to be at the expense of their schoolwork. Enter the Center for Discovery School Support Program. We focus on the eating disorder recovery that will in turn target the future success at school for years to come.
At Center for Discovery (CFD), we treat eating disorders in a real-life setting which includes continued focus on academic success for our adolescent patients. We build confidence in young learners who may have struggled with their studies when trying to cope with mental health and social issues. In the School Support Program, patients can expect:
Upon admission, patients’ needs and academic goals will be assessed. Our facility staff will address the needs of patients by supporting them and their loved ones in staying on track academically while they are enrolled in our treatment program.
In residential treatment, we provide 20+ hours of academics a week, one hour a day for partial hospitalization and 5+ hours for intensive outpatient. During this time, we provide a study hall environment where patients can work on their assignments. An treatment team member will be checking in to see how patients are doing and to support them staying on track academically.
This in-person weekly group for outpatient programming consists of patients learning how to balance treatment while enrolled in school and supporting patients who are in the process of reintegrating back into an academic program. The 12-module group focuses on many topics, from time management skills and self-awareness to dealing with stress and creating SMART goals.
Our schedule creates a great balance between personalized treatment, group therapy and time to study. Here’s a sample of what a day in the residential School Support Program may look like (schedules vary by program, as well as by region):
Morning to mid-morning
