Children and Families are resilient
"Treating a child in distress as soon as possible can help reduce problems at home, in school, and in relationships with family or friends. It can also help build skills for healthy development into adulthood.
I believe children are resilient "
Derek McCarron, LMHC Director Pediatric Inpatient
Children's Emergency Services
We have created a special environment for children experiencing a mental health crisis. A warm, caring place that is safe and secure. Thousands of families have trusted the well-being of their children to our care.
Children ages 5 to 17 receive services in a secure 28-bed unit designed just for children. Our team of licensed clinicians led by board certified child & adolescent psychiatrists work exclusively with children. They have the expertise to recognize psychiatric disorders in children and the experience to recommend the most appropriate next steps in their treatment. We offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and treatment of a variety of emotional and behavioral problems.
At Gracepoint, we focus on family. That means we are concerned about the family’s needs as well as the child’s. It also means that you play a valuable role in your child’s care—your support and attention are essential during this time. We know that having a child admitted may be difficult for your child and your family. We hope this information will answer some of your questions. FAQ
