The Hope & Resiliency Center for Youth
The Hope & Resiliency Center for Youth (the Center) is a clinic-based mental health program meeting at risk adolescents’ unique mental health needs. The Center provides “step-down” treatment for adolescents discharged from inpatient or acute partial hospitalizations or “step-down” treatment when traditional outpatient services are not meeting the needs of an adolescent.
The Hope & Resiliency Center for Youth offers a more structured level of intervention in both the frequency and the variety of services provided in traditional outpatient treatment. The Center offers a broad range of treatment services to meet the needs of adolescents and their families. This treatment setting allows adolescents to continue to attend their schools during the day and return to their homes in the evening while still receiving a high level of treatment, structure and support.
Mission:
The mission of the Hope & Resiliency Center for Youth is to reduce psychiatric issues and to improve the young person’s ability to function successfully at home, at school and in the community. The goal is to initiate change promptly, principally through symptom assessment and individualized planning, interventions and skill development.

Designed to serve as a comprehensive treatment center, the Hope & Resiliency Center for Youth offers a range of services to adolescents and their families. Before admission, a thorough evaluations occur, focusing on psychiatric issues, emotional and social adjustment, family functioning and school performance. We designed the Center treatment models to benefit most adolescents, needing acute behavioral health interventions and supports.
The evaluation includes your child and family and needs to be completed at least seven days before your child’s admission. A licensed psychiatrist trained in adolescent treatment conducts your child’s admission assessment. The attending assesses psychiatric issues, substance use disorder, medical comorbidities and other psychosocial factors so we can develop a treatment plan for your child.
