Dorm Activities 

Various extracurricular activities, either within a residential group, smaller group, or individually, often utilize the resources of the Berkshire Hills location of the school and can include sports, movies in the residence or off-grounds, meal preparation, dinner in a restaurant, games, and arts and crafts.

The residential program, combined with the powerful therapy program UniFy (Understanding Family),is designed to support both families and residents. Residents have frequent visits from their families on weekdays or weekends. Visits occur either on campus or off-grounds, depending on the needs and desires of the resident and family.

During visits, Residential Child Development Counselors provide families with modeling and mentoring instruction on parenting their children. Mentoring/modeling may be in the form of direct instruction, discussion, or observation. The Child Development Counselors also assist families in learning about their children and their needs; these techniques support the reintegration of the child into the family.
