We will review barriers for why people do not go to or receive services. We will discuss what gaps exist within the current treatment structures. We will also talk about Group Therapy, Intensive Outpatient Therapy, and Partial Hospitalization; what they all mean, and why there may be better treatment options for our children other than traditional Inpatient or Outpatient services.

Objectives:

  1. Describe the landscape of mental health regarding children
  2. Discuss the barriers that exist to getting help
  3. Develop a working knowledge of Group Therapy, PHP and IOP
