Just for Parents

Are you wondering if our teen mental health program is right for your teen? We know you may have some questions about what to expect while your teen is in our mental health care. Call us and we can tell you even more!

Teenagers will:

• Explore his/her feelings and emotions.
• Have a daily meeting with his/her psychiatrist.
• Go to therapy with a specially trained, licensed behavioral health therapist.
• Have a meeting with his/her therapist to develop an individualized treatment plan.
• Have daily activities in the gym with a recreational therapist.
• Have family counseling sessions while participating in the program.
• A school program to prevent the patient from falling behind in school. (We request the parent or guardian to bring the patient’s assignments to SPBH within three days of admission)
• Have reflection time and writing in a journal during structured activity time.
• Practice the skills he/she is learning with other teenagers dealing with similar issues.
• Attend educational groups where he/she is learning about healthy habits.
• Have healthy, balanced meals developed by a nutritionist.
• Have a comprehensive plan to continue treatment.
