Galen Hope

Galen Hope Comprehensive treatment for primary mental health conditions, primary eating disorders, and/or complex dual diagnoses for adults and adolescents.

The Galen Hope experience is unique in that the treatment milieu is comprised of other clients, the staff, and the community at large. It is the synergy of these three components that creates the backdrop for the sound clinical services and strong behavioral supports and expectations that lead to an unlocking of the mental illness and the unfolding of the healing process. Our treatment integrates the best concepts of residential programs, partial hospitalization programs, and community psychology in order to provide an experience that not only feels uniquely meaningful to the client, but also breaks the cycle of repeated hospitalizations, over-institutionalization, and isolation from community and family.

Fasting can be triggering. For many, faith includes fasting, but if you’re in eating disorder recovery, your health comes first.

Honor your values in ways that keep you safe. Consider alternatives like prayer or reflection, charity, gentle connection, mindful breathing, journaling, or acts of service. Talk with your care team (and your faith leader, if relevant) to make a plan that supports recovery.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) & ADHD. What’s the connection?

Research shows they often co-occur. ADHD traits like impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, executive-function challenges (planning, working memory), and interoception difficulties (reading hunger/fullness cues) can contribute to binge episodes and “all-or-nothing” patterns.

What can help?
🔹 Integrated care for BED + ADHD
🔹 Skills for emotion regulation such as CBT or DBT strategies
🔹 Structured meals and snacks to reduce long gaps
🔹 Cues & routines (timers, checklists, prep) to support executive function
🔹 Interoceptive awareness practice (noticing hunger/fullness/urge waves)

Expert treatment is available.
Galen Hope offers complimentary consultations

Men die by su***de about 4 times more often than women.

Key risk factors include social isolation, substance misuse, trauma, unemployment, and financial strain.

Warning signs & triggering life events may look like withdrawal, hopelessness, escalating substance use, intense anger/irritability, major sleep changes, or big stressors (job loss, breakup, legal/financial issues).

If you’re worried about yourself or someone you love:
Check in, listen without judgment, and encourage professional support.

Help is available. Call or text 988 (U.S.) for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, or use chat at 988lifeline.org. If there’s immediate danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number outside the U.S.).

We’re here to help. Galen Hope offers psychiatric-led, evidence-informed care for depression, trauma, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. Complimentary information session available.

Recognizing signs of trauma in children & adolescents.
What to look for and what to do.

🚨 Early identification helps kids get timely, effective support.

➡️ Common signs:
• Emotional changes: persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, mood swings
• Behavioral shifts: withdrawal, regression, increased aggression
• Sleep disturbances: trouble falling asleep, nightmares, insomnia
• School difficulties: declining grades, poor focus, frequent absences
• Physical symptoms: headaches, stomachaches, unexplained aches/pains
• Hypervigilance: heightened startle response, excessive worry
• Changes in play/art: repetitive or distressing themes/drawings

➡️ What to do next:
Validate feelings; keep routines predictable.
Limit exposure to triggering media; offer calming activities.
Consult a pediatrician or a trauma-informed therapist—earlier is better.

💙 We’re here to help.
Galen Hope provides trauma-informed, integrated care for teens and families.
