Join us for a tour of the recently opened Traverse Academy. Traverse Academy opened in October 2023 as the nation’s first day treatment facility that is funded and managed by a school district. The facility provides short term outpatient mental health care integrated with customized educational programming for up to 60 students grades 4-12 who are experiencing a mental health crisis. The goal of Traverse Academy is to equip students and families with tools to manage their mental health care needs and successfully transition students back to their original school within Cherry Creek School District.
During the tour, you will see how healthcare and education design are blended into one facility, positive distraction and options for autonomy are provided to students, ligature resistant design is selectively incorporated into student spaces, and programmatic flexibility is provided to adapt to Traverse's changing populations.
