About Mount Saint Vincent Pediatric Behavioral Health – Denver
Mount Saint Vincent Home is in Denver, Colorado. It started out as an orphanage in the 1960s and eventually evolved into a foster care center. They still provide foster care, but they also help children, teens and their families with mental health issues. They’ll provide outpatient programs that’ll suit your specific needs.
Their biggest program is a day treatment option. Children between the ages of five and thirteen work on their mental health issues while going to the site’s school. They’ll attend a program that’s centered around classroom activities and routines. That way, they’ll get support and can socialize with their peers. They also won’t fall behind in their classes. Their families can be coached on how to help kids with their addictions and health issues.
There’s a more general outpatient program for kids older than thirteen and younger than three. It’s based on traditional therapy including play therapy for toddlers and young kids. If your kids have any underlying issues these will also be addressed. When your child wraps up the program, the staff will help arrange any needed community resources. This will make sure that you and your kids can go back to their regular schools and get on with their daily lives in a safe and healthy way.
