Child and teen mental health
Children and adolescents are every bit as likely as adults (and sometimes more likely) to have psychological and emotional disorders. We tailor their treatment to fit their unique needs, offering rehabilitative services, counseling and access to other specialists as needed.

Acute adolescent mental health program
The Adolescent Program at Parkridge Valley Hospital provides a safe and caring environment in which teens receive intensive, short-term inpatient treatment that helps troubled teens and their families identify problem areas that interfere with growth and development. The highly structured inpatient experience provides an opportunity to stabilize crises, assess problem areas and coordinate appropriate services.
This program focuses on catering to the unique physical, psychological, social, emotional and spiritual needs of adolescence. Working with a team of specially trained providers, teenagers between 13 and 18 years old learn to explore their feelings and understand the developments of this critical stage of life. We hope to help teens gain the skills, understanding and motivation to overcome their issues and thrive as a result.
