About KidsPeace Broadway Campus – Bethlehem
KidsPeace is a children’s mental health organization with locations throughout the northeastern United States. Their Family Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, office houses a partial hospitalization program and standard outpatient services for kids aged 6 to 18 years.
Their partial hospitalization program aims to keep children at home as much as possible while still treating them for moderate to severe behavioral problems like substance use. Youngsters partake in individual, group and family therapy where they practice new skills. This program is an alternative to hospitalization, but it can be used as a step-down. Children and their parents can expect to have therapeutic activities scheduled on most days.
In the standard outpatient program, kids have access to individual, group and family therapy as well as medication management. This level of care is appropriate for children who may be having trouble functioning, but can still do so with the right support.
Between these two programs, most children can get the help they need without having to go anywhere else. For kids who need more help, KidsPeace has residential and inpatient programs in other locations to which they can refer.
