Keystone’s summer programming offers extra special options! Disruptive Behavior Camp Anxiety and OCD Camp The Disruptive Behavior Camp provides evidence-based treatment to campers who are having difficulties at home, at school or in the community due to problems with oppositional, defiant or otherwise disruptive behavior, such as tantrums, aggressive behavior or ignoring/breaking rules. Often, these children also struggle with other difficulties including mood problems, anxiety problems, adjustment to trauma or other stressors, problems with attention and hyperactivity, developmental delays and medical problems. Anxiety and OCD Camp provides evaluation, intervention and medication management for campers who are experiencing anxiety. Common diagnoses include: Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD): Children who are diagnosed with ODD are often angry, irritable, argumentative, and defiant towards authority figures. Intermittent Explosive Disorder: Children experience intense recurrent emotional and behavioral outbursts including temper tantrums, arguments, and physical aggression. Conduct Disorder: Children diagnosed with conduct disorder show a persistent pattern of negative behavior which may include destruction of property, aggression towards people and/or animals, theft, or truancy. Evaluation: Parents will have the option of having their child given a comprehensive evaluation by gathering information from multiple sources including the child, parents and teachers. This is important in order to determine the severity of the behavioral difficulties and to develop appropriate treatment goals for your child. Therapy: Therapists use several effective treatments for disruptive behavior problems, such as behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. Common diagnoses include: Separation Anxiety: Children experience significant fear or distress when separating from their parents and/or caregivers. Specific Phobia: Some people have intense fear related to certain objects or situations. Social Anxiety: Children experience significant anxiety during social situations such as performing in front of others, being observed, or interacting with others. Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Uncontrollable worry about multiple situations, performance, social, academic, health, and financial; “what if" concerns that span far into the future; physical symptoms including headaches and stomachaches; inability to unwind; low risk-takers and need constant reassurance. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Obsessions are repetitive thoughts, images, or urges. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the anxiety experienced from obsessions. Selective Mutism: Children with selective mutism are unable to speak in some settings and with some people. Evaluation: Parents will have the option of having their child given a comprehensive assessment in order to accurately diagnose the anxiety disorder.

The team works collaboratively in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of more than 40 developmental, behavioral, learning and genetic disorders in children, consulting with Dr. Tran to determine whether medication may be helpful for your child. If appropriate, Dr. Tran will prescribe and closely monitor the effects. Extensive research shows that the gold standard for treating behavioral disorders includes a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and medication. Five Camps Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive (OCD) Camp Disruptive Behavior Camp Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity (ADHD) Camp Mood Camp Trauma and Grief Camp Tel: 904.619.6071 6867 Southpoint Drive North Suite 101 Jacksonville, Florida 32216 Fax 904.212.0309 [email protected] www.keystonebehavioral.com For TypicallyDeveloping Children and High-Functioning Children with Special Needs Keystone Success Through Change Camps for typically developing children and highfunctioning children with special needs All children, ages 5 to 22, typically developing and with special needs 9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., Monday – Friday June 13 – Aug. 5, 2016 These camps are designed for typically developing children and high-functioning children with special needs who are dealing with specific mental health challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns or behavior problems. Each camp uses evidence-based treatments to help children develop the skills needed to cope with these challenges and to generalize their skills in other environments. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity (ADHD) Camp ADHD Camp offers state-of-the-art services for campers with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Our interdisciplinary team specializes in the evaluation, treatment and support of individuals with attention deficits, learning problems and related behavioral difficulties. Evaluation: A comprehensive evaluation will be completed to appropriately diagnose ADHD. The comprehensive evaluation may include psychological testing evaluating intellectual, academic and executive functioning skills, as well as behavior rating scales, observations and interviews with teachers and the family. Therapists use several effective treatments for behavior problems, such as behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. Medical professionals will be available to prescribe medication and discuss medication as an appropriate intervention for the behaviors as well as potential benefits and side effects. Medication Management: Medication can be a beneficial treatment for children diagnosed with mental health challenges, but it is an important decision. This decision should be made after a thorough discussion with a medical professional to assess the need. Our comprehensive team of pediatric doctors will be available to discuss the options, potential benefits and side effects and to prescribe and manage medication, if desired. Camp Registration Deadlines: 2 weeks before the start of each weekly camp Cost: $500/week [email protected], 904.619.6071, for more info about Keystone Success Through Change Camps Mood Camp Trauma and Grief Camp Mood Camp offers evidence-based treatment for campers suffering from mood disorders. Campers receive comprehensive services focusing on evaluation, treatment and medication management for diagnoses. Trauma and Grief Camp evaluates and treats campers who have experienced trauma or grief. Exposure to traumatic events can affect children’s cognitive, social, emotional and behavioral functioning. Early therapeutic intervention can minimize harmful effects of psychological trauma. Common Diagnoses Include: Depression: Children with depression often appear sad and withdrawn for most of the day. They may experience sleep disturbances, appetite changes, weight fluctuations, thoughts of death and feelings of worthlessness. Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD): Children with DMDD are persistently irritable and angry. They have severe temper tantrums several times each week including verbal and/or physical aggression towards others. Evaluation: Children will be referred for an evaluation of a mood disorder based on the behavioral and mood symptoms discussed during the initial evaluation. Selfreports, interviews, observations and rating scales completed by caregivers may be used to appropriately evaluate the mood disorder. Ongoing evaluation throughout therapy is also used to investigate and to monitor the efficacy of current treatments. Therapy: Therapists use evidenced-based therapies with the main goal of reducing the inappropriate behavior (such as hyperactivity and impulsivity) and improving other skills (such as attention, concentration, organization and social skills). The team provides treatment recommendations designed specifically to assist children and families in managing ADHD at home, in school and throughout life. Therapy: Therapists use cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal therapy techniques. CBT focuses on uncovering beliefs that lead to depressive thinking by helping the child make connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and learning to identify and alter thought patterns. The behavioral component of CBT focuses on increasing the child’s pleasurable activities as well as training on assertiveness and emotional regulation. Interpersonal psychotherapy focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and increasing social and emotional support. Common Diagnoses: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Acute Stress Disorder Children who have PTSD or acute stress disorder may witness, experience or learn about a traumatic event. They may avoid things associated with the event and have difficulties remembering parts of the event. You may notice changes in their mood, thoughts or behavior. Evaluation: The initial evaluation is crucial in order to assess the exposure to and impact of the traumatic event. The evaluation appointment will likely consist of an interview with the caregivers and, when appropriate, the child. Rating scales and screening forms may be utilized as well. Therapy: Therapists provide evidenced-based traumafocused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). TFCBT has been shown to help children, adolescents and their families overcome trauma-related difficulties. It is designed to reduce negative emotional and behavioral responses after witnessing domestic violence, experiencing traumatic loss or experiencing abuse.
