Programs and services
Acute inpatient care
Short-term, intensive treatment designed to stabilize a child or adolescent in crisis, while providing client and family with a supportive aftercare plan that helps prevent or minimize the need for future hospitalization.
Hospital-based residential care
Longer-term, 24-hour treatment for children and adolescents with chronic or complex psychiatric disorders. We offer a full schedule of therapeutic groups and activities in a safe, secure, structured milieu.
Partial hospital program (day treatment)

Our treatment philosophy
We believe that children do well when they can. Our goal is to identify challenges that keep them from doing well. Working together, we help children develop and strengthen the social, cognitive, executive and emotional regulation skills they need to become successful in daily life.
