The IOP for 11-13 year olds meets Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings from 5-8pm and we are committed to working with each family's schedule. Wednesday is the multi family night for program. Tuesdays parents attend the first hour (skill) and the rest of the program is peers only. Fridays only peers attend.

​

Monday, Wednesday and Thursday programming follow the same format (for both HS and MS programs):

A minimum length of participation is 10 weeks to enable teens and their parents to develop the necessary skills to improve the quality of their lives. Most families participate for 12-13 weeks before they are ready to leave the group.
