Benefits of a Therapeutic Boarding School
Therapeutic boarding programs offer students an academic program that includes psychological counseling. The teachers at these types of programs are generally well versed in psychology, and the programs are typically overseen by a psychologist or other mental health professionals. Students in these programs usually attend therapy regularly as well as group therapy.
The goal of therapeutic boarding schools is to rehabilitate the student and make them healthy emotionally. Many therapeutic boarding schools offer additional therapies such as: animal-assisted therapy, art therapy, music therapy or horticultural therapy. These are all beneficial for helping teens learn coping skills for life, including anger and stress management.
