Designed to avert hospitalization of children who either fail to attend school or who present disturbing behavior when there, this program administers a menu of psychological and behavioral services to decrease problematic behavior and to promote a child’s self-sufficiency both in the family and at school.

Outpatient Services

Our Outpatient Program works towards treating and resolving issues that are unhealthy for all family members. Education and rehabilitation, together with individual, family and group therapies promote self-awareness and social and emotional well-being.

After School Partial Hospital Program

Our After School Partial Hospital Program is an interventive, non-residential, behavior-based program for socially or emotionally troubled youth. Structured activities, individual counseling, group therapies, academic enrichment and participation in community sports and recreational activities foster and support self-understanding and responsible social interaction. The program takes place on the Northern Home for Children campus and utilizes the various amenities the campus offers including the gymnasium, computer lab, activity center, Connell ball field, and in-ground swimming pool. During the summer months, the program becomes a summer camp program for this population of youth.

Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS)

• Wrap Around Program
  Our BHRS Wrap Around Program offers a high level mental health intervention for children struggling with mental or social-emotional issues in their home, school or community settings.

• School Based Behavioral Health (SBBH)
  SBBH services are designed to support children whose emotions and behaviors make it difficult for them to function in the normal school setting. Services are provided in selected schools in the Philadelphia School District by a team of trained mental health professionals. School-based teams focus on the whole child, including the school staff and family. Individual counseling, group therapy, classroom support and behavior modification are all part of the treatment process to help children develop their ability to succeed in school and in life.
