They Need Your Help.

As parents and community members, we need to work together to ensure children receive support throughout the year.

Advantages to seeking help in the summer for the children include:

• More flexible scheduling

• Not missing school

• Not returning to school with the stigma of having been away at treatment

• Ability to work on mental health/chemical dependency without the pressures of academics

• Youth are often more unsupervised during the summer, so mental health concerns can often go unnoticed or unrecognized. Being in therapy helps prevent that from happening.

Connect with us today to learn more about child/adolescent programming, including:

Inpatient Hospitalization

• Acute/emergent psychiatric

• Chemical dependency issues

Day Treatment

• Day program and home at night

• Specialized programming for those on the autism spectrum;

Intensive Outpatient

• 3 sessions/week

• 3 hours/session

• Clinic services—therapist appointments www.prairie-stjohns.com

OPEN THE WINDOWS AND THROW OFF THE JACKET. It’s summer! The event calendar is overflowing with family and specialty outdoor events and indoor escapes. Read on about one immigrant family’s extraordinary legacy, our amazing local Women of the Year, something new at Bonanzaville, and how you can attend a luau—right here in Fargo.
