Successful treatment planning for adolescents and children must be family-focused, with an emphasis on assisting the child or teenager to improve relationships with parents and siblings and to better performance and conduct in the classroom.

Our goal at Clarion Psychiatric Center is to involve family members and school staff in the treatment process, with an emphasis on limiting stays and maximizing care in intensive outpatient settings.  The continuum of care provided by Clarion Psychiatric Center assures that young patients can transition smoothly to less restrictive levels of care, resulting in improved treatment outcomes.
