Jane a 15-year-old who participated in the Partial Hospitalization Program earlier this year was struggling with depression, anger, anxiety, and intense suicidal ideation. She was adopted and had many other adopted siblings some of whom have special needs. She felt invisible. She was having angry outbursts at home and struggled to keep herself safe. Jane came to the program and excelled. Communication was opened during family meetings and Jane’s whole family was impacted by the child’s treatment. The whole family began using the coping skills Jane was taught in the Partial Hospitalization Program. She left the program better able to manage the symptoms that were once debilitating and with a multitude of coping skills in her proverbial toolbox. Her family was extremely grateful for our program, and the Partial Hospitalization team is so proud of her hard work!

Kevin, a 16-year-old on the Autism Spectrum had difficulty engaging with his peers and adults. He had experienced some trauma as a young child and because of that, he struggled for a good portion of the first month in the Children’s Receiving Home Residential Treatment Program. Over time – with a lot of consistency and building trust through therapy – he worked his way through the program and graduated to return to his mother’s care.
Upon discharge Kevin’s mother presented the team with a card that read:
“To all the amazing staff at CRH, you are so very nice! Much appreciated to all of you. Thank you for taking care of my kiddo these past 3 months!”
Kevin’s mom shared with the team this summer that he was entering the 12th grade and included a few of his senior pictures. He is doing well and continues to utilize all of the tools and skills he learned in the Residential Treatment program.

Sarah is a four-year-old girl who came to Sprouts with a range of tantrum-like behaviors that ultimately lead to her removal from a previous preschool program. At the start of Sprouts Sarah hit and kicked peers, destroyed classroom toys, and frequently used grunting or loud noises to communicate her needs. Sarah had sensitivities to sensory stimuli and had difficulty connecting with others. By the end of Sprouts Sarah was using words to describe her wants, needs, and feelings, responding proactively to classroom expectations, engaging in play with peers, and seeking one-on-one attention from classroom staff. Sarah has transitioned into a typical classroom! Sarah’s parents have noted a similar change in behaviors at home, they say she is a more responsive, happy kiddo!
