Women’s Mental Health Treatment at HRI Hospital: Why Choose Us?
Being a woman comes with a unique set of challenges. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression or another issue, we can help.
The women’s partial hospitalization program (PHP) at HRI Hospital helps women 18 and older recover from mental health disorders without a hospital stay. The program meets Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. It consists of women-only group therapy sessions led by master’s-level therapists.
You may attend our women’s program in person or virtually. If you attend in person, we provide breakfast and lunch. You can expect to attend the program for about two weeks.
We provide a supportive environment for women to share and process their emotions and experiences. Our goal is to empower you with coping skills to manage life stressors in a healthy way. You receive compassionate care in a nonjudgmental setting.
At HRI Hospital, you’ll find:
- High-quality care: We have national accreditation from The Joint Commission for our commitment to high-quality mental health care.
- Skilled care providers: You work with master’s-level therapists and a nurse practitioner for medication management. You also have regular meetings with a case manager, who can connect you with resources you may need and help with aftercare planning.
