When your child or adolescent needs help right now, we're ready
Ages 5–17 · Acute inpatient · Available at 6 facilities
When a child or adolescent experiences a severe mental health or behavioral crisis, outpatient care may not provide the level of support they need. Our Acute Inpatient Psychiatric Program offers short-term, intensive treatment in a safe, structured environment with 24-hour supervision.
Through comprehensive psychiatric assessments, crisis stabilization, individualized treatment, and family involvement, we help children and adolescents manage challenging emotions and behaviors while developing healthier coping skills.
Our goal is to stabilize immediate concerns, support families, and prepare children and adolescents for a safe transition back to home, school, and ongoing community-based care.
