The Partial Hospitalization Program is a short-term (60-90 days) therapeutic program that provides intensive psychiatric services to children and adolescents with mental health issues.The program is designed for children who need more intensive treatment than is available on a strictly outpatient basis or offered in traditional classroom settings. Partial provides a safe environment for children to share life experiences and learn appropriate ways to handle them. This highly structured environment is offered as a step down from in-patient hospitalization or to prevent hospitalization.
On a daily basis, staff will host several group sessions throughout the day. Topics can range from:
• Suicidal ideation
• Self-injurious behaviors
• Anxiety / Depression
• Self-esteem
• Sexual and physical abuse issues
• Coping skills
The staff will work with the individual to develop a formal treatment plan.
While in the Acute Partial Hospitalization Program, children and adolescents will receive their academics through BHA Academy educational staff, who work closely with the home schools districts to meet the academic and individual educational plan needs of the individual.
