Mental health provider Cartwheel has partnered with East Providence, R.I.-based Bradley Hospital to offer mental health services to students in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The fully virtual program will be available for students between the ages of 13 and 18 across 50 school districts with a variety of behavioral health needs, including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and self-harm, according to a news release shared Feb. 26 with Becker's.
The program, which is available to more than 200,000 students, is offered through the Bradley REACH virtual Partial Hospitalization Program.
It can be used as a step-up program for children who need more help than outpatient care can provide and a step-down program following hospitalization. Students receive 6.5 hours a day of individual, group and family therapy and tutoring, with the average stay in the program lasting three to four weeks.
