Children's Inpatient Program

Bradley Hospital's inpatient services are for children ages 3 to 12 years who suffer from serious emotional and behavioral disturbances and are in need of short-term stabilization, assessment and treatment for suicidal, aggressive or other unsafe behaviors.

Children and their families are assigned to an attending psychiatrist and a family therapist. The multidisciplinary team also includes a psychologist, nurses, pediatrician, nurse practitioner and milieu therapists.

Teamwork: We work as a team with you and your child. We understand that parents and caregivers know their children best.

Understanding the whole child: We look at all areas of your child's development (physical, emotional and social). We work together as a team of professionals from many disciplines.

Least restrictive care: We actively work to help children be successful in less restrictive environments.

Problem-solving and collaboration: We teach children tools to help them resolve conflict in healthier ways and to help them make safer choices.

Support of diversity:We understand that families come in many forms and from diverse backgrounds. We respect differences in child rearing beliefs and view diversity as an important part of treatment.
