With a 1:3 ratio, the goal for Westside students is to learn essential life skills, including emotional regulation, identifying and expressing emotions, problem-solving, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and understanding and communicating their needs appropriately. The long-term goals of these students may be stepping down to a group home or other less restrictive setting, family reunification, or independent living. Many students enjoy activities such as hair and makeup, bingo, volleyball, football, dodgeball, roller skating, arts and crafts, gardening, and listening to music. They also have unique interests and hobbies that reflect their creativity and individuality. Some enjoy exploring nature and wildlife, including learning about insects, salamanders, snakes, and other animals. Others prefer quieter activities such as journaling, drawing, crafting, or listening to music.

This program operates with a DBT clinical model. Each client receives individual therapy, along with participation in a DBT skills group. The DBT model emphasizes growth in interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Clients are encouraged to take an active role in their treatment and collaborate closely with clinicians to set and pursue meaningful goals.
