DaySpring RTC accepts adolescent girls of secondary school age (12 to 16 years) who have experienced the trauma of abuse. DaySpring RTC residents are no more than 12 girls at one time and the average length of stay is 6 months. At DaySpring RTC, a safe and structured environment is created offering clinical excellence in the context of caring relationships through trauma and recovery groups, general group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, psycho educational groups, and a variety of recreational therapies.
DaySpring Residential Treatment Centre is set up and managed by HighPoint DaySpring. Alice Heng, who was battling a rare type of cancer, was able to get the counseling center running before she passed away, founded DaySpring in 2006. DaySpring is a self-funded initiative under Highpoint Community Services Association. They are a member of the National Council of Social Services and recognized as an Institution of Public Character.
The program is relationship based and works on a values based levels system. In working through these levels the adolescent girl will take positive control of her life by changing from being externally motivated to becoming internally motivated, which leads to a more sustainable change. The Treatment Center brings hope and healing to young teenage girls who have experienced the trauma of abuse, whether it be physical, sexual, emotional, or neglect. With a "team based approach" where all residential staff and clinical staff are working with the student to achieve her therapeutic goals. As the teen moves toward completion of the program, she will prepare more for her transition back into her family environment.
