Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health
Our pediatric behavioral health specialists evaluate your child’s mental and physical health and develop an age-appropriate treatment plan to support their mental well-being.
Why Choose Sutter?
Mental health issues aren’t always obvious in young people. If your child is having angry outbursts, trouble at school or acting withdrawn, they could be experiencing depression, anxiety or another mental health condition. An accurate diagnosis and age-appropriate treatment can help your child enjoy being a kid again.
We offer a wide range of services, including emergency and inpatient care, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient programs, for children and teens. Three of our behavioral health centers — Sutter Center for Psychiatry in Sacramento, and Alta Bates Summit and Mills-Peninsula Medical Centers in the Bay Area — provide specialized adolescent programs, including support for teens facing eating disorders. Your care team will help you find the program that best meets your child’s needs.
As your child’s condition improves, we provide many options to help them ease back into school and family life. A dedicated case manager will guide the transition home and connect you with community resources for ongoing support.
