Residential Programs

Our residential program, Community Based Acute Treatment (CBAT), offers an acute short-term stay for boys and girls ages 4 to 14 with emotional and behavioral difficulties. As an on-site program, residents have access to an array of pediatric, psychiatric, nursing and dental services in the hospital.  Our interdisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, case managers, nurses and mental health clinicians work with the children and families to attain treatment goals which are necessary for their return home and to their school and community.  

The CBAT Unit

The CBAT Unit provides crisis intervention, medication management and consultation, family therapy, individual and group counseling, and long-term planning.  We offer on-site educational groups which all residents may attend, depending on their needs.  The CBAT Unit is often used as an alternative to inpatient care or as a step-down from inpatient care before returning to the community. 

The Partial Hospitalization Program

The Partial Hospitalization Program serves children that are currently in residence or finishing an inpatient hospital stay who do not require inpatient services but are awaiting placement in a longer term residential setting suitable to their needs.  The Partial Hospitalization Program is often a helpful way for children to transition back to their community.   

We strive to help children and adolescents return successfully to their home, school and community.

Our continuum of care provides the supervision and support needed to ease the distress during this challenging time.
