About Southwood Children's Behavioral Healthcare

Southwood Children’s Behavioral Healthcare delivers focused and age-appropriate support for kids and adolescents dealing with emotional, behavioral, developmental, and cognitive issues. The center provides acute inpatient services for children aged 4 to 18, residential options for boys aged 6 to 21 with behavioral and developmental challenges, as well as family-centered mental health support for individuals aged 3 to 18. Their tailored services, combined with robust family support initiatives, cultivate a safe, therapeutic setting aimed at achieving enduring recovery and success.

The empathetic care team at Southwood is proficient in child development and behavioral health targeting young patients. Their inpatient services adhere to a trauma-informed, evidence-based model that incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Group therapy is a vital component, facilitating connections among children who have undergone similar challenges. To promote healing and personal development, experiential therapies such as yoga, music, and art are included, enabling young clients to experience their childhood in a nurturing and enjoyable atmosphere.

Designed for children and adolescents, this facility offers a dynamic and inviting space for recovery. Clients are housed in shared accommodations that promote comfort and community. Thoughtfully arranged areas throughout the campus encourage kids to participate in recreational activities and play during downtime, fostering both emotional and social development. Every detail of the center is aimed at creating a safe and supportive environment for young clients to feel a sense of belonging.

Southwood recognizes that a client’s experience at the center is merely a part of their overall healing process. To assure ongoing success, the care team formulates individualized treatment plans that ready each client for life post-discharge. Families and clients are also given access to peer support groups and local resources. This continuous support streamlines transitions and bolsters each client's foundation for sustained recovery.
