We are proud to announce the opening of our newest program...
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at San Diego Center for Children provides a therapeutic environment for youth ages 13 to 18. This program can be a “step-down” service following inpatient care but can also be an alternative for youth at risk of inpatient hospitalization as a result of difficulty functioning in school, at home or in the community. Time for independent school work, lunch, and other supportive activities such as recreation, art interventions, and psychiatry services are included.

Scholarships are available. Contact our Intake team for more information at: 858 -634-8359.
