The Positive Education Program in Cleveland, Ohio, is grounded in the Re-EDucation philosophy and serves more than 700 students with emotional and behavioral disorders in eight day treatment centers. The centers blend special education with mental health in a school environment in which students and families are both supported and challenged as they work together to bring stability to their lives. Encouraging outcome data demonstrates the effectiveness of this community-based program. (Contains 3 tables.)
