PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The patients and families served at Franciscan Children's represent a culturally and linguistically diverse population, who present with a broad range of medical and behavioral health diagnoses. Our patients often include individuals exhibiting a variety of clinical symptoms (spanning the DSM-5-TR categories). Our patients also frequently present with a variety of congenital and acquired conditions. Approximately one third of all outpatient therapy is conducted utilizing interpretive services. The Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS), is a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative department comprised of psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and expressive therapists.
