Laurelwood Adolescent Philosophy of Care We believe in the individual worth of each adolescent and the need for expressions of affection and nurturing as well as consistent limit setting. We provide a highly structured program where most of the therapy takes place in a group setting due to the importance of the peer group during this stage of life. We also believe in an interdisciplinary team approach in helping the adolescent in setting goals and learning healthier coping skills. Family therapy is an essential part of the program since any problem that affects the child and adolescent affects the entire family. The inpatient program offers crisis hospitalization for adolescents ages 12 to 17, seven days a week. Adolescents are involved in a variety of group and activity therapies focusing on developing healthier coping skills. Because families play an integral role in treatment, they may be involved in family therapy sessions at least weekly and in a multi-family support group. During all levels of care, adolescents are able to continue with their school assignments. Laurelwood staff maintain a cooperative relationship with the school system to provide an educational component for all youth during treatment.
