When school ends, many families assume their teen can take a break from intensive mental healthcare. However, summer can be a critical time to maintain or even increase therapeutic intervention.
This is where partial hospitalization programs (PHP) come in.
Full-day PHP in Ohio
Partial hospitalization programs let teens focus on mental health treatment during the day and then go home in the evening.
At Beyond Healthcare, our PHP for adolescents ages 11-17 offers 25 hours of group therapy weekly, plus individual therapy sessions and different levels of family involvement.
This intensive, holistic treatment creates a safe and inclusive setting where teens can address complex mental health concerns with guidance from behavioral health experts. The program treats a wide range of mental health challenges in a supportive group environment.
Benefits of partial hospitalization programs
The lack of school structure during summer months can intensify mental health symptoms. Research from the Kids Mental Health Foundation out of Columbus, Ohio shows that adolescents with mental health conditions often experience increased symptoms during unstructured times of year.
Summer PHP services can help by offering:
- Daily structure replacing school routines
- Peer support from others going through similar challenges
- Skill development during vulnerable transition periods
- Oversight by licensed behavioral health professionals
- Resources for the whole family
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), without this level of support, many teens experience setbacks that can take months to address. Our families find that PHP is well worth the investment.
