Hours of Operation
 The
C.A.R.E.S. Program at St. Francis Medical Center is an acute partial
hospitalization program for children ages 5-12 years. Our mission
is to provide high quality mental health diagnosis
and intensive treatment to children
who suffer from emotional and behavioral difficulties that impede
their ability to function successfully in a social environment.
Children may be referred to the program by their
school, outpatient agencies, inpatient children's unit, DYFS, and
the families themselves. All referrals are made to the Program Director.
The staff at the CARES Program are a multidisciplinary
team consisting of master level clinicians, bachelor level
counselors, a registered nurse, and a child and adolescent psychiatrist.
All children receive daily academic instruction, daily group therapy,
weekly individual therapy, and weekly family therapy. Upon admission
all children receive a psychiatric evaluation.
Our team members are committed to providing
the children and their families with the tools they need to cope and
to manage the challenges they are facing in their lives in a respectful,
supportive, and nurturing environment. Door- to door transportation
and meals are provided for the children.
