Our Learning Labs offer unique educational opportunities for youth with hands-on activities such as virtual reality, emotion regulation drills, experiential therapies, and other innovative treatment approaches.

Families can visit their child and spend time together in a comfortable, private family room and for families who live out of town, we can use tele-video equipment for a virtual visit.
