Child & Adolescent Treatment

Acute Treatment for Children & Adolescents

Child and adolescent programs at Wyoming Behavioral Institute are offered for young patients who struggle with behavioral issues or a mental health disorder. Comprised of various group therapies, social activities, educational services and peer support, these programs are intended to promote positive thinking and healthy conflict resolution.

Our young patients receive educational services from state-certified teaching staff while in our care. We strongly encourage outpatient services after discharge to promote long-term progress and mental wellness.

For more information on youth behavioral health services, please view our patient handbook.

Compassionate, understanding behavioral health support

For adolescents struggling with depression or a mental health issue, help and hope are closer than you think.
