Our Crisis Services Team provides crisis response for your child and family. Once settled, the team will begin a safe and seamless transition back into lower levels of care by working with your family and community services.

The Inpatient Psychiatric Unit provides a 24-hour program for short-term stabilization. While here, your child will attend group therapy sessions, work on coping skills, and gain better insight into their behavior. Kids will also engage in daily quiet time to help strengthen independence and interpersonal growth.

Day Treatment programs

Our Day Treatment program consists of 40+ hours a week of behavioral health treatment. During this time, your child will attend an accredited school and participate in group activities, individual and family therapy, and psychological testing when indicated. Healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP offers your child several hours of condensed treatment, allowing your family to maintain and establish a schedule and home life. While in IOP, your child will participate in group therapy three days a week. Our program involves family participation and is led by licensed clinicians and recreational therapists.

Adolescent Partial Hospitalization program

Our Adolescent Partial Hospitalization program provides mental health treatment to adolescents in crisis. The program's goal is to help your child develop strategies for managing difficult situations without re-entering a crisis state. The program includes an initial assessment, daily individual therapy, follow-up visits, and four sessions of group therapy per day. Our targeted care approach will help ensure your child's pursuit towards recovery.

Our outpatient therapy appointments last 30 to 60 minutes. During this time, your child will have an opportunity to meet with a provider and discuss experiences, thoughts, emotions, and concerns. If your family needs a testing appointment, you will meet with a psychologist to discuss recommendations and next steps.

The Community Service team works with many of our behavioral health services by providing accessible, effective, community-based care and support. This service focuses on a collaborative approach with community partners and your child’s care team.

Our Medical Psychiatry/Psychology program is unique to Primary Children's Hospital. We assess and treat the psychiatric and psychological factors your child experiences in relation to their medical condition.

Our DBT program is used to treat persistent mental health symptoms. Participation in DBT may be a helpful for your child as a step-down from higher levels of care within our behavioral health service. The program includes individual therapy, multi-family group therapy, phone coaching, and a full consultation.
