School Notes
- Safe Haven School is a therapeutic day school designed to meet the unique needs of children and youth with internalizing behaviors, defined as negative,
- problematic behaviors directed toward the self. Children who exhibit these behaviors often experience severe anxiety, depression and fear, feelings that can be
- exacerbated by the sights, sounds and social dynamics of a typical school setting.Their self-harm behaviors are often the result of physical or emotional trauma,
- or symptoms of a range of underlying conditions including bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Aspergers syndrome and other psychosocial
- disorders. With small classrooms, differentiated instruction, and a lovingly cultivated culture of support, community and respect, Safe Haven School offers a needed
- alternative for students with internalizing behaviors. When given the emotional resources they need in a safe, calm and accepting environment, students are able to
- develop the confidence and coping mechanisms they need to manage their negative emotions. Safe Haven School is not a permanent placement, but rather a
- temporary environment where students can go to heal, learn, and develop skills and strategies for coping with their emotional and psychological challenges.
