Akron Children’s Division of Pediatric Psychiatry and Psychology offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for teens whose symptoms are severe enough to warrant additional services beyond traditional therapy. IOP focuses on short-term stabilization to help at-risk teens improve functioning, develop healthy coping skills and stabilize mood.
Our multidisciplinary team includes licensed mental health therapists, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses. Our program uses evidence-based therapy and skill-training exercises to increase self-awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviors, enabling teens to make healthier choices. Family education and therapy are also essential parts of our program.
