Center for Resilience

The Center for Resilience is the only therapeutic day treatment program in Louisiana. We provide educational and intensive mental health supports in an innovative partnership with the Tulane University Medical School Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Children’s Hospital New Orleans to ensure the emotional well-being and academic readiness of children with behavioral health needs in the Greater New Orleans region. Children in grades K-12 with behavioral health and autism or related spectrum diagnoses receive instructional, medical, and therapeutic services at our day program site with the goal of building the skills necessary to successfully transition back to the traditional school setting. Our mission is to improve the emotional well-being and academic readiness of children by delivering high-quality, interdisciplinary care, and collaborating with partners to develop new programs that meet the needs of our region’s children and families. We love children and believe in a strengths-based framework for working with even the most challenging of students. We believe healthy relationships are the cornerstone of any behavioral health growth, and expect our team members to model healthy relationships with one another and with the children with whom we work.
