At AFH, our goal is to provide progressive daytime programming opportunities to the individuals we serve. It is our objective to challenge and stimulate each individual to accomplish the highest level of independence possible. We offer extensive training in a structured setting and are active in the community. The Day Treatment for Adults Programs are curriculum based and focus on areas of communication, self care, community awareness, social development, community access, household chores, and money management.
Social Beginnings Program
The Social Beginnings Program presents a diverse and innovative approach to teaching daily living skills with a "hands on" approach. The focused skill training areas in this classroom include working cooperatively with peers, self-expression through arts and crafts, the use of manipulative and tactile exercises, and personal hygiene.
Pre-Vocational Program
The Pre-Vocational Program affords the opportunity for individuals to learn job training through volunteer services in the community. Some of these programs include U-MOM, Salvation Army, Desert Haven Nursing Facility, St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Mary's Food Bank, and St. Vincent de Paul. Pre-vocational activities prepare individuals for future placement in a vocational program. Many individuals have graduated from the DTA Pre-Vocational Program and are now employed and earning wages.
Seniors Program
AFH also offers a seniors program for elderly adults who are ready to retire. Seniors enjoy participating in activities of their own choice, including spending time with seniors in other programs playing bingo, doing crafts or just visiting. The emphasis of the program is mental stimulation, comfort, good health and fun.

The Activity Area has been designated for providing recreational activities to individuals that are unable to work or do not want to work. Activities will include in-house activities such as arts and crafts, and excursions throughout the community. This program will include excursions such as trips to museums, movies, restaurants as well as memberships to the Phoenix Zoo and YMCA.
Emergency Medical Facility
The Day Treatment for Adults Program has expanded its facilities to include a room to accommodate special services for individuals. This facility is equipped with a changing bed, Geri/feeding chair, shower chair, and a handicapped accessible bathroom with shower. This facility can function as a transition room for someone who becomes ill while on site or in program.
