The DMH is seeking input from providers and families on existing services and potential improvements prior to releasing the procurement in early January 2027. Therapeutic Day Services are voluntary, structured therapeutic group programs for children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance, designed to help participants develop skills in social interaction, vocational/educational tasks, emotional regulation, and symptom management. Services are delivered in multiple formats including full day, partial day, after school, early evening, weekend, and school vacation programs. An online listening session has been scheduled for Monday, May 4, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM via Microsoft Teams, with ASL interpreters confirmed. Interested parties must register by email to Carol.Murphy@mass.gov with the names of attending individuals and their provider organization.
The flyer does not contain pricing information, set-asides, incumbent details, or specific funding amounts. This invitation represents an early stakeholder engagement phase designed to gather community feedback before the formal procurement process begins. The listening session is intended to inform contract improvements and service modifications for the upcoming procurement opportunity, with attendance encouraged from both service providers and families familiar with therapeutic day services.

The Department of Mental Health (DMH) is seeking input from providers and families regarding the Child, Youth and Family (CYF) Therapeutic Day Services (TDS). DMH CYF Therapeutic Day Services is going out for procurement in early January 2027. See the Intent Post on COMMBUYS COMMBUYS - Bid Summary (docId=BD-26-1022-DMH08-8220A-127974). We are inviting interested parties to join an on-line forum to share input on existing services and suggest contract improvements and potential changes to future services.
Therapeutic Day Services are voluntary, structured, therapeutic group modalities for children and/or adolescents who have serious emotional disturbance. Therapeutic Day Services are available to children and adolescents who require interventions beyond what the school, family, and traditional outpatient or recreational services can provide. Day Services:
· provide services that enable youth to learn and practice skills related to social interaction, vocational/educational tasks, emotional regulation, and symptom management;
· engage youth in pro-social activities which harness youth’s strengths and interests, and which may expose them to previously unexplored talents and potential avocations;
· assist youth’s transition to and engagement in other professional and non-professional supports and services in the community; and
· occur during: full day, partial day, after school, early evening, weekend, and/or during school vacation.
On-line Listening Session is scheduled for:
Monday, May 4, 2026, from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm
ASL Interpreters are confirmed.
To participate in the forum, attendees need to register by sending an email to Carol.Murphy@mass.gov.
