Sample Schedule

To adequately highlight program features, it is helpful to understand a typical day at Second Nature Entrada. Second Nature Entrada therapists are in the field 48 hours per week, presenting letters from home or from other supportive individuals, conducting individual sessions, facilitating therapeutic groups, and creating an updated treatment plan for the week. The Field Instructors manage the remaining days with a focus on experiential living. Each day brings unpredictable challenges; weather, peer-conflicts, behavioral issues, mood changes, and staff assignments, which all coalesce to form the curriculum.
