Online treatment options in Minnesota and Wisconsin
Online day treatment makes it possible for patients to access treatment from home or school using a computer or portable device with webcam, microphone, and speakers. This program is offered to anyone in Minnesota or Wisconsin, regardless of proximity to our clinics. Our intake staff can help determine whether online treatment is right for your teen.
Advantages of an online treatment program include:
- No transportation issues
- Accessible treatment for those who live in areas without treatment options nearby
- Family schedules and community involvement for teens can be maintained
In our experience, certain teens do better in an online treatment environment. Teens who are prone to distractions or dysregulation can experience the benefits of group treatment in a quieter setting. Some teens with high anxiety miss in-person treatment days, and attendance is very important to treatment outcomes. With online treatment, those with high anxiety around groups can participate in a private setting.
Current program days and times:
Online Day Treatment for Teens is available for individuals ages 11–18 in Minnesota and Wisconsin. This structured, trauma-informed program features Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and art therapy approaches (this article shows how art therapy made a powerful difference for a teen in crisis). Services include individual and family therapy.
Groups meet for two hours, Monday-Friday. Sessions are currently available at the following times:
- 9 am-11 am
- 12 pm-2 pm

AN INTRODUCTION TO CFS ONLINE DAY TREATMENT FOR TEENS
We work with schools to schedule treatment:
To limit disruptions and remain in school, many students choose to participate in the CFS Online Day Treatment for Teens program from their school. Counselors work with school staff to create a safe and secure environment for treatment during the school day. Most schools will also arrange the student’s learning schedule around the program. Some schools may provide social-emotional learning credits (SEL) for those who participate in day treatment. A CFS intake specialist can provide you with more information on that option.

How to refer a teen to CFS Online Day Treatment for Teens:
- Teens can be referred by their parents, school, primary care, county social worker, or outpatient providers.
- Call 800-438-1772 to speak to our Intake Team. Clinical professionals can also refer online here. Our Intake Team will ask more about the teen and schedule a diagnostic assessment to determine if day treatment or another option, such as a Teen DBT or Social Skills Group, is the best fit.
- Prior to beginning a teen day treatment program, a parent or legal guardian will need to meet with our staff to review program expectations. A separate meeting will also be scheduled to sign consents for treatment.

I have been beyond impressed at the progress my clients have made. I have always been hesitant of virtual programs, but this program is doing it correctly. The youth that I have had in the program have made substantial gains in their mental health.
