Bournewood Health Systems, a premier psychiatric and behavioral health center in Massachusetts, offers compassionate support and mental health services for teens. Our adolescent psychiatric care program includes an adolescent inpatient program for young people facing challenges with mental health, psychosis and suicidal thoughts or actions. Bournewood’s expert team provides quality, evidence-based, and person-centered care focused on each individual’s needs.
Watching your child struggle with mental health is an experience that can be uniquely overwhelming, heartbreaking, and isolating. At Bournewood Health Systems, we understand the toll that this journey takes on families, but you are not alone.
Our team is here to help you every step of the way. Family involvement is important for recovery, and we work hand in hand with parents and caregivers to ensure you feel empowered, included, and informed throughout your child’s treatment process. At Bournewood, we provide a safe and compassionate environment where your family’s voice is heard.
Our inpatient programs are for adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18. During the admissions process, we’ll develop a Personal Safety Plan designed for your teen that identifies their unique triggers, warning signs, and coping strategies.
While no two treatment journeys are exactly the same, each day in our inpatient mental health program for adolescents is thoughtfully structured to promote healing and growth. We tailor each plan according to the adolescent’s needs with schedules that include a mix of group and independent therapies, medication management, family support, skill-building workshops, continuing care planning and recreational activities that foster connection and resilience. Our trauma-informed, evidence-based approach encourages peer support and social connection, while also providing opportunities for reflection and self-care.
Choosing an inpatient mental health program for your teen is a big decision. At Bournewood, we prioritize your child’s safety with highly trained staff, secure facilities, and a culture of respect and dignity. Our program is never about confinement — it’s about creating a supportive place to heal.
We believe in open communication — families are valued partners in the recovery process. With treatment updates, planning sessions, and educational opportunities, you’ll always know how your child is progressing.
Bournewood is committed to providing stigma-free care that is both culturally sensitive and LGBTQIA+ affirming. Our staff receives ongoing training to ensure every young person and family feels welcomed, respected, and valued for who they are.
If your child is struggling, you don’t have to face it alone. Contact Bournewood Health Systems for expert, evidence-based care to help your adolescent — and your family — move forward in recovery and hope.
