Launch Your Student Towards Success with PRIDE

The PRIDE Program at Behavioral Health Associates is a leading full-time emotional support program designed to help students overcome challenges and thrive. We offer a unique blend of academic and therapeutic support to empower students for success in school and beyond.

PRIDE: Building the Skills for Lifelong Success


Our program is built on five core pillars: Preparation, Recovery, Interaction, Development, and Education (PRIDE). Through these pillars, we equip students with the tools they need to:

  • Navigate Challenges: We provide students with strategies and knowledge to tackle obstacles they may face in school and life.
  • Make Positive Choices: Our program empowers students to make decisions that lead to the best possible outcomes.
  • Transition Smoothly: PRIDE prepares students for a successful return to their home school district.

Restorative Practices: Fostering a Supportive Environment

  • Academic Achievement

We provide a range of services to meet individual student needs:

  • Daily Group Therapy and Individual Sessions as needed, focused on social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies.
