The Educationally Placed Integrated Care (EPIC) program at Canyon State Academy (CSA) offers specialized education and behavioral health treatment services within a comprehensive 24/7 therapeutic program.
Through our Integrated Care Model, CSA promotes a sense of school pride among students, provides a positive environment that fosters positive change, and unlocks boundless potential for achievement.
THE INTEGRATED CARE MODEL
The Integrated Care Model is the framework for EPIC's programming and services. Beginning with a foundation of safety, accomplished through caring relationships, qualified and trained staff, fosters a culture where students can learn.
Staff model pro-social skills, utilize the appropriate amount of empathy and provide youth with problem resolution skills. Assessments identify individual student needs and strengths and develop their intrinsic motivation for change.
Evidence-based cognitive behavioral interventions help students develop skills to overcome aggression, disruptive behavior, and heal from traumatic events in their lives. Since many of the students will return home, family involvement and treatment are provided at an appropriate intensity.
The normalized environment enables each student to develop and practice skills in the therapeutic, academic, vocational, health/wellness, family and community activities. Through these experiences, the student gains competencies and skills to attain Treatment Plan goals; then, new goals are established and the process of positive change is moved forward, creating a new vision and hope for the youth.
