Targeted care to help children and teens thrive

McLean Hospital, Mass General Brigham’s mental health hospital, offers several partial hospital programs for children, teens, and young adults. These insurance-based services provide a higher level of support than traditional outpatient care and focus on helping children and adolescents stabilize and build skills to manage mental health symptoms and life stressors.

Treatment combines group programming, individual therapy, skills training, case management, and medication consultation and management. Our goal is to help children and teens improve daily functioning at home, at school, and in their communities.
