Presenter(s)
Kennedy Wehler
Abstract
The Family and Children's Center in Winona, MN, focuses on supporting the well-being of children and their families. They provide numerous services including therapy, day treatment, assessment, foster care, home visits, and family counseling. During my the Spring semester of 2026, I've had the pleasure of working with their day treatment programs. Day treatment at FCC includes their adolescence program, working with teenagers, and their Bridges program, working with children in elementary school. Children referred to day treatment at FCC are dealing with severe emotional and behavioral difficulties. Through day treatment, children are provided individual support, community support/management, crisis planning, psychotherapy, and skills training. Days are broken up into three hours. First hour is a lesson teaching clients about different life skills, second hour is group therapy lead by a therapist, and third hour which is time to hang out and play games.
