One of the cornerstones of our treatment program is working with the parents and families of the children we serve, helping moms and dads learn how to parent differently than what they experienced as children.

In this way, PAAC is able to ensure that before the children conclude their therapy and treatment, positive changes have occurred within the family unit, thus helping to break the cycle of abuse. Help us win the fight to eredicate child abuse and neglect from our society.

For the children who are able to remain in the home but in need of an intensive treatment and an educational program, our Day Treatment Program is available as an alternative to out-of-home placement. out therapeutic milieu combines a special education curriculum with consistent structured interventions by behavior specialists.

It also helps children with behavioral problems learn new skills that help them to better function in a public school or the community. A collaborative effort with families and community agencies ensures a successful transition back into the community.

Challenge by Choice Summer Program: This program focuses on creating an experiential education environment outside the classroom.  Children have the opportunity to participate in a summer journey that helps them reach their highest potential.

Helping abused children overcome poor self-esteem, low self-confidence, the inability to build appropriate social relationships, and poor sportmanship is paramount to the healing process.

The Challenge by Choice adventure-based program provides new and different experiences while incorporating traditional education including canoeing, rafting, camping, service projects and hiking.
