Signs Our IOP or PHP Can Help

We understand how challenging it can be when young people are facing emotional or behavioral difficulties. You’re not alone. Here are five signs that your teen or young adult may need IOP or PHP:

  1. Difficulty Managing Daily Responsibilities: They are struggling to attend school, work, or complete everyday tasks due to overwhelming emotional or behavioral challenges.
  2. Frequent Emotional Outbursts: They are experiencing intense mood swings, anxiety, or anger that disrupt relationships and daily life.
  3. Engaging in Risky or Harmful Behaviors: They are engaging in self-harm, substance use, or other unsafe activities that may indicate more serious mental health conditions.
  4. Isolation from Family and Friends: They avoid loved ones or social circles, leading to feelings of loneliness and disconnection.
  5. Unmanageable Stress and Anxiety: When stressors and anxiety start disrupting their daily life, an IOP or PHP can offer targeted interventions to regain control.
  6. Significant Changes in Lifestyle: Noticeable lifestyle changes, such as altered eating or sleeping habits, neglect of personal hygiene, unexpected grade drop, or sudden shifts in social circles, could be red flags of a looming mental health crisis.
  7. No Improvement Despite Therapy: Regular therapy sessions aren’t helping your teen or child.
