Summer Intensive Outpatient Program
Our School Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) helps children and adolescents ages 4 – 17 build effective coping skills to help them succeed in school.
SBHS Summer Tools for Success in School Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers valuable programming designed to assist participants age 4 – 17 in building skills needed to succeed in school, whether they are entering kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, or High School.
