“Beech brook... Helping children and families since 1852 in 1852, when beech brook opened its doors as cleveland's first orphanage, it was the beginning of a long legacy of caring for the children of northeast ohio. Today, as a leading mental health and child welfare agency, beech brook's 500 plus-member staff serves more than 22,000 children, teens and families. From prevention and early intervention programs to intensive treatment for the most seriously disturbed youth, beech brook helps to heal troubled children and strengthen families through these and other mental health services: therapeutic foster care beech brook's therapeutic foster care is a community-based, mental health foster care program built upon the teaching family model, a strength-based, skills-building treatment model. Therapeutic foster care admits children/teens who have recently stepped down from or who are at risk of stepping into a higher level of care, e.g., residential treatment or hospitalization. Frequently these children have a history of major problems in their physical health, school adjustment, peer and adult relationships, and emotional stability. Beech brook also provides specialized and traditional foster care for children and teens whose mental health needs are less severe. School-based mental health programs beech brook provides mental health support and services to children in elementary schools throughout the cleveland municipal school district and in several suburban districts. Working hand-in-hand with children, teachers, administrators and families, beech brook helps children overcome the mental health problems that are getting in the way of their success. This program offers both individual and family counseling, support groups, medication somatic services, parent support and education and linkage with community resources. Residential treatment for latency-age children and youth beech brook's open residential treatment program provides a 24-hour, highly structured therapeutic milieu where children learn to manage their behavior, control anger, solve problems, follow directions and build healthy relationships with others. During their stay, which may range from a few weeks to a few months, children and youth attend the campus-based gund school and participate in a partial hospitalization program after school and on weekends. In the past year, those services have been expanded to serve youth with mental health issues who have been involved in the juvenile justice system. Intensive treatment unit for children/teens ages 5-17 when children or teens are experiencing extreme psychiatric problems/symptoms, beech brook's intensive treatment unit offers immediate intensive intervention and stabilization through a flexible package of services, based on the child's and customer's needs. Brief stays in this locked unit, ranging from just a few days up to 30 days, offer an alternative to or step down from psychiatric hospitalization. Educational services are provided within the unit.

This program provides case management, therapy, psychiatric services, development of independent living skills, preparation for employment and educational services. Lengths of stay vary, depending on individual needs. Day treatment for children/teens ages 5-17 day treatment is designed to meet the needs of children and teens who are living with their biological, adoptive or foster families. Often, day treatment helps children make the transition from residential treatment to community living and schools. While in day treatment, children attend gund school and participate in the partial hospitalization program.
