Providence Children’s Inpatient Behavioral Health Treatment Program is the only private, dedicated psychiatric unit for children under age 12 in Oregon. Our program offers children who have behavioral and emotional difficulties a safe place where they and their families can begin to develop a balanced life.
Growing up is not easy. Sometimes children face issues that are beyond their coping abilities. Some problems are too serious for families, schools and private counselors to manage. This can result in emotionally and physically destructive behavior.
At these times, children may need the compassionate, focused attention available within the controlled environment of a psychiatric hospital. Although difficult, these events can provide understanding, growth and healing for children and their families.
We offer a patient- and family-centered program, featuring:
- Age-appropriate care
- Flexible schedules and activities
- Family involvement
- Behavioral interventions
- A blend of medical, emotional and social therapies
- Close communication with family members, the patient’s school and community providers
Our treatment program is created to be developmentally appropriate for the age of the child. It is prescribed based on the individual child’s needs and includes collaborative problem-solving approaches. We require strong family involvement during treatment planning, hospitalization and discharge planning.
