Valleycrest Day Treatment provides an intensive therapeutic intervention program for children between the ages of 6.5 and 11.5 at the time of referral. The two main areas focused on are mental health and educational needs. The main goals are to help children with any emotional and/or behavioural difficulties.

Referrals are accepted through the Renfrew County Coordinated Access Committee.

This is a prevention based behavioural treatment program for children under 6. This program has been developed in partnership with local School Boards.
