Causes: Education, Primary & Elementary Schools
Mission: To offer an alternative, safe, nurturing therapeutic day school for children in grades k through 12 with internalizing behavior disorders free from distractions of students with externalizing behavior disorders.
Programs: The organization operates a school lake bluff, illinois, serving 40 to 45 students. Safe haven school's management of emotions and behavior occurs within and outside of the classroom. The goal is to establish a psychologically and physically safe and secure environment that will promote individual and group development. The therapeutic approach is need-responsive, presenting students with a stabilizing environment, structure, safety, routine, predictability, and respect. Students engage in mood monitoring throughout the day, weekly collaborative problem-solving, daily conferencing with their educational case manager, and the use of i-statements. A culture of kindness permeates the program.
