About this facility
Southwood Children’s Behavioral Healthcare provides specialized and age-appropriate care for children and teens facing emotional, behavioral, developmental, and cognitive challenges. They offer acute inpatient care for children ages 4-18, residential programs for boys ages 6-21 with behavioral, developmental needs, and sexually maladaptive behaviors, and family-based mental health services for clients ages 3-18. Their personalized approach and strong family support programs create a safe, therapeutic environment focused on long-term healing and success.
Southwood’s compassionate care team specializes in child development and behavioral health for children and teens. Their inpatient programs follow a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Group therapy plays a central role, helping kids connect with peers who share similar experiences. To encourage healing and growth, experiential therapies like yoga, music, and art are integrated, allowing young clients to enjoy their youth in a supportive and fun environment.
This facility is specifically designed for children and teens, offering a vibrant, welcoming environment for healing. Clients benefit from shared accommodations that provide comfort and a sense of community. Thoughtfully designed spaces across the campus allow kids to engage in recreational activities and play during free time, supporting both emotional and social growth. Every aspect of the center fosters a safe, supportive atmosphere to help young clients feel connected.
Southwood understands that a client’s time at the facility is just one step in their healing journey. To ensure lasting success, the care team develops personalized treatment plans that prepare each client for life after discharge. Clients and families also gain access to peer support groups and community resources. This ongoing support helps ease the transition and strengthens each client’s foundation for long-term healing.
