Intermountain Residential Program
What Is Intermountain?
Intermountain started as a grade school in 1909 in Helena Valley, Montana. Since then, it has significantly grown to offer community based and comprehensive services. It is committed to attend to the needs of families and children with varied needs and emotional difficulties.
Its residential services serve 32 children, aged four to thirteen, who are taken care of by counselors, certified teachers, nursing staff, licensed therapists, psychologist, and a certified psychiatrist. It provides a curriculum approved by the state and consists of art, music, health, physical education, and educational field trips.
The Intermountain Residential Program
Treatment includes instructing the parents to realize and adapt to their children’s needs. It also includes the patterned continuous meeting of the children’s needs via the intentional staff’s close relationships. It includes an all-inclusive assessment; personalized treatment schedules; family, group, and individual therapy; medication; and a unique private grade on-campus school providing full academic services.
The initial priority with these kids is to offer some physical and psychological safety through the increase of their life’s structure and aiding them in regulating their emotional outbursts. The secondary priority is to listen by observing a child’s behavior in order to assist the kid in expressing his/her feelings.
In every cottage, the kids form close relationship with the staff assigned to care for them. They rejoice, cry, establish boundaries, soothe, and rock with every kid. Sibling jealousy and dynamics can be regulated and experienced because the kids share with other kids in the cottage. The therapist oversees the goings on in every cottage and schedules daily healing meetings with the kids.
