“If you were born with the weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise.”
– Rupi Kaur
Today’s teens face an endless amount of stress. The pressure to meet social standards while also keeping up with school and family responsibilities is relentless. It is no wonder teen mental health is taking a toll.
In recent years since the pandemic, 37% of United States high school students reported poor mental health, while 44% stated feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness.
Reflections Lifestyle Center recognizes the need for adolescent mental health care. We offer a program that fits your teen’s treatment needs while also helping them keep up with schoolwork.
Many mental health conditions begin during the adolescent and teen years, marking the need for treatment options. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions can make going to school, joining activities, and spending time with friends feel exhausting, causing isolation and disconnection. When left untreated, mental health conditions hold teens back from setting healthy goals and creating bright futures. The team at Reflections Lifestyle Center understands the unique differences in teen mental health. Our program offers treatment for most mental health conditions, even if your teen has not been diagnosed in the past.
When you think of sending your teen to mental health treatment, negative images of cold, lonely hospitals probably come to mind. Here at Reflections Lifestyle Center, we provide an environment far from these images. Our cozy and comforting space gives your teen a safe and welcoming atmosphere conducive to mental well-being. Your teen will return each evening after treatment is complete, ensuring they are still a part of family life.
Our program offers partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming. This allows your teen to receive valuable therapies in group and individual settings during the day. School is also important, which is why we offer a 2-hour study hall during treatment and provide Chromebooks to sync with their current school platforms.
During our partial hospitalization program (PHP), your teen will have group therapy sessions with peers of like ages. This is where they will listen and share their experiences, which aids in building bonds of friendship. In individual therapy, they will learn about mental health and why they have been feeling the way they have. With this insight, they will build coping skills for the future, giving them the tools needed to manage stress.
PHP is for adolescents ages 10-18, with separate sessions for middle school and high school ages. Your teen’s care team will communicate with you about the treatment process and also invite you to family sessions.
Intensive outpatient programming (IOP) offers similar therapies and classes as PHP with sessions occurring less frequently or for shorter amounts of time. Some teens may start in this program while others begin in PHP. Your teen’s care team will discuss current symptoms and conditions during intake, giving them the necessary information to suggest a treatment course. You will be involved every step of the way.
While your teen is in our care, our dedicated and compassionate team here at Reflections Lifestyle Center will provide evidence-based therapies with holistic approaches. One way we do this is through our REFLECT program. Here, we focus on meditation techniques, teach how to get adequate sleep and hydration, and provide nutrition counseling. Our team also teaches classes about self-esteem, stress, and social and life skills. These practices will help your teen implement healthy habits after treatment is complete.
Seeing your teen in distress is heartbreaking, but the good news is help is available today. Reflections Lifestyle Center offers a supportive environment and same-day appointments, so there is no need to wait for treatment to begin.
