ABC Day Treatment Program
The ABC Program for the Enhancement of Achievement, Behavior, and Cognition offers a day treatment program for short-term, integrated intensive psychological and psychosocial services for children 5 to 12 years old. Located within the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA the ABC program applies the most current evidence-based treatment to help children and their families. Length of stay is individual to each child, treatment progress, and family’s unique needs. A child’s success at ABC depends greatly on his or her parent’s commitment to the program. Parents attend formal training sessions weekly to provide consistency between the program and the home.

- Mood Disorders
