We have a separate Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for children ages 9–11 with acute psychiatric or behavioral disorders who need support, but are functioning well enough not to require inpatient care.

We can help stabilize symptoms and promote a successful return to school and regular activities. This program is offered on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
