Short-term, intensive support for children and adolescents who need help stabilizing and moving forward
When a child or teen is experiencing an emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric crisis, families need support they can trust. Our Children’s Acute Partial Hospitalization Program provides short-term, intensive care for children and adolescents ages 5–18 who need help stabilizing symptoms, building skills, and returning safely to everyday routines.
We work closely with each child, family, school, and care team to help reduce the need for inpatient psychiatric hospitalization or residential placement whenever possible.
We provide crisis stabilization in a structured, supportive setting where children and teens can receive therapy, psychiatric care, skill-building support, and help planning for the next step in their care.
The program may be appropriate for children and youth stepping down from inpatient care, as well as those who need intensive support to help prevent hospitalization. Youth may receive services up to age 21 if they are still in school and have an IEP.
This is not an alternative educational placement. It is a short-term therapeutic program focused on symptom stabilization, coping skills, family support, and coordination with the child’s existing school and care providers.
