Additional information

Riverside offers a structured, therapeutic after-school program for children ages 6-12 who have experienced various challenges, including but not limited to neglect, homelessness, various forms of abuse, or trauma-related and neurodevelopmental diagnoses such as PTSD or ADHD. The primary goal of the Family After-School Program is to prevent hospitalization or out-of-home placement for youth who require therapeutic services and cannot attend a traditional after-school setting.  We provide clinically intensive, trauma-informed services so children can learn to express themselves and gain coping skills to help them thrive.  We offer individual services along with group activities including, art therapy, movement therapy, yoga, and a space for discussing difficult topics and building peer relationships.
