CHILD GUIDANCE SCHOOL

High School 7th - 12th

School Overview

The Child Guidance Center’s school program, often referred to as the **Day Treatment Program**, is a specialized educational and therapeutic environment located at 904 Sumner in Lincoln, Nebraska. It is designed for students whose emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges make it difficult for them to succeed in a traditional classroom setting. The facility operates as an extension of the Child Guidance Center’s broader mission, integrating intensive mental health support directly into the academic day.

The program functions through a collaborative partnership between mental health professionals and educators to provide a highly structured, small-group learning environment. Students receive personalized academic instruction alongside clinical interventions, such as individual, group, and family therapy. The primary goal of the school is to help students stabilize their emotional health, develop essential coping and social skills, and eventually transition back to their home school or a less restrictive educational placement.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
