Inpatient Psychiatric Treatment
KVC Hospitals provides inpatient acute treatment for youth ages 6-18 who are experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, impacts of trauma, and other behavioral and mental health challenges. Youth receive education and skill-building to learn how to identify and control their emotions and have the opportunity to practice emotion-regulating exercises with our highly-trained staff.
Our goal is for each child to safely return home with the resources and supports in place to live a healthy and happy life in their community.

What to Expect at Discharge
To help ensure your child’s continued success after their stay at KVC Hospitals, our treatment team will work with you to create a discharge/aftercare plan and coordinate follow-up care in your home community. We believe that aftercare and follow up services are essential to your child’s sustained progress, and when possible, we will help schedule these appointments.
Aftercare services might include individual therapy, family therapy/education, specialized educational services, medication management, psychosocial/supportive groups, substance use treatment, attendant care and/or case management services.
