This Partial Hospitalization program is offered for children who attend community school daily, but require supportive mental health services in a structured program. The primary goal of this program is to provide professional intervention to reduce levels of impairment in social, emotional, psychological and behavioral areas in the life of a child, and to teach healthy and socially acceptable behavior and forms of expression so that the child can find success in the daily activities and routine of home, school and community. A variety of services are available to each child depending on individual needs and psychiatric recommendation. These include individual and family therapy, diagnostic assessment, medication and community support programs.
While attending the program, children are presented with a variety of safe, therapeutic activities on a daily basis. Activities include a variety of athletic games and craft projects focusing on developing anger management and coping skills, self-esteem, following directions, expression of feelings and family relationships.
This program is available for boys and girls ages 5 to 15 at our center at 1615 East Elm Street in Scranton. Transportation to and from home is provided throughout Lackawanna County.
Children attend the program after school three, four or five days per week.
Referrals can be made by family, school or primary care physician to the Admissions Department
