Teen Intensive Outpatient Programs
Christian Family Solutions currently offers two Intensive Outpatient Programs for teens: GROWTH and ARMOR.
GROWTH for Teens
The GROWTH for Teens Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) from Christian Family Solutions provides focused, time-limited, group-based treatment for a variety of mental health issues for teens and their families. (GROWTH stands for Guiding Relationships and Ourselves with Wisdom and Therapeutic Healing.) Our program is designed for teens seeking clinically proven and effective skills and resources to more successfully manage their depression, anxiety, trauma, or other serious mental health conditions.
In addition to teens attending group sessions for about three hours per day, teens and their parents participate in a weekly family therapy session. This session creates improved communication and understanding between the teens and their parents.
Clients in our IOP will learn emotion- and behavior-regulation strategies, skills to build and strengthen relationships, and techniques for the management of psychologically distressing situations. Our program integrates evidence-based counseling techniques with a Christian perspective to support clients both emotionally and spiritually.
The program can serve as a step-down option for teens moving from an inpatient or partial hospitalization setting or to provide teens a higher level of care than what is available through traditional outpatient counseling.
