Team & Care

Your child will participate in structured, evidence-based treatment designed to promote safety, skill-building, and resilience.

Programs typically include:

• Individual therapy
• Group therapy
• Family meetings
• Milieu and recreational therapy
• Medication evaluation and management
• School instruction (provided by certified teachers)

Our program uses evidence-based cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and trauma-informed interventions, in a compassionate, age-appropriate setting.

The day is structured to provide consistency and a sense of safety, while remaining patient-centered and flexible to meet each child’s individual needs. Schedules are modified as needed based on clinical goals or therapeutic activities, and a daily schedule is posted on the unit, so children are aware of any changes and know what to expect each day.

Morning
The day begins with wake-up routines, breakfast, medication administration, a goal-setting group, and academic instruction.

Afternoon
After lunch, the schedule includes visiting hours, individual, group and milieu-based therapeutic sessions, along with supervised recreation, outdoor time and creative therapeutic activities.

Evening
The evening features dinner, visiting hours, and a calm wind-down period leading into the bedtime routine.

Each patient is cared for by a dedicated multidisciplinary team that works closely together throughout the entire hospitalization. This team collaborates to develop a comprehensive, coordinated treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs, with a strong focus on safety, healing, and skill-building. We also plan proactively for discharge from the very beginning, ensuring a smooth and supportive transition to aftercare services, community providers, and any resources your child and family may need moving forward.
