The Collaborative Day Treatment Program provides a supportive environment for youth experiencing difficulty coping in the mainstream education system. Through individualized therapeutic and academic approaches, the program strives to establish a successful learning experience that will promote the youths’ knowledge, skills, and values, and enhance their life options. DFCC works in partnership with, and accepts referrals from, the Durham District School Board, the Durham Catholic District School Board, Probation Services, Durham Children's Aid Society and the community at large.
