The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is geared toward serving Spanish-speaking and monolingual clients with a history of chronic mental illness and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations. We have a census of 20 clients and a team of 2 LCSWs, 1 Masters-level Art Therapist, a BSW-level case manager, a program secretary and maintenance man. There is a psychiatrist (2 days/per week) and R.N. (3 days/per week) for medication management and psychiatric evaluations. Groups focus on all aspects of maintaining psychiatric stability with an emphasis on remaining dynamic and progressive.
