Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Designed for children and teens ages 8–17, our Intensive Outpatient Program provides short-term, intensive treatment for those facing behavioral, emotional or relational challenges. The program helps youth safely remain at home while receiving clinical support, keeping them connected to school, family and daily routines. It offers more support than traditional outpatient care without requiring residential treatment.
Intensive Stabilization Program
When a youth ages 6–21 is experiencing a behavioral or mental health crisis, our Intensive Stabilization Program provides urgent, short-term care. Through individualized support and collaborative discharge planning, the program delivers immediate relief and helps youth transition successfully to ongoing services, offering a critical bridge between hospital-based care and outpatient support.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program offers structured, short-term mental health treatment for youth ages 8–17 who need intensive support but do not require 24/7 care. This day treatment program stabilizes youth in crisis while allowing them to return home each evening, serving as a bridge between inpatient care and outpatient therapy.

We offer free screening, training and licensing for general foster care. Additionally, we provide treatment-level foster care for youth who need a higher level of care, with training, licensing and support for experienced caregivers.
