How We Help

Intensive Mental Healthcare for Youth

For youth with more intensive needs who have not stabilized in other programs, our residential or after-school care programs provide a safe, nurturing space in a beautiful environment to begin deeper healing.

Location

Our beautiful campus is located in the heart of the Sunset District at 1801 Vicente Street in San Francisco.

Youth can receive residential treatment and intensive outpatient mental health services in one of two cottages thoughtfully designed for healing.

  • Halleck Cottage is home to youth who are part of our Residential Group Home and Hospital Diversion
  • Stow Cottage is where youth who are part of our Partial Hospitalization program, and also where we provide Intensive Outpatient mental health services.

Admissions

Providers or Parents can access services or make referrals anytime by calling or online through our Connect with Us form.

Youth can also be referred by Kaiser or through a school district’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

With 24/7 care from a dedicated team, your child will receive therapy, medication support, and skill-building to help manage emotions and reduce harmful behaviors over time.

Stays typically range from 30 to 90 days for Kaiser-referred youth, and from six to 12 months for youth placed through a school district’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

As part of the continuum of care offered at Edgewood, there are four programs designed for youth under the umbrella of Acute Intensive Mental Healthcare Services.

Through these services, Edgewood can assess and treat youth (ages 12 to 17) who require immediate and intensive support. Youth can be referred to us by any counselor, therapist, behavioral health professional, medical provider, parent or caregiver, school administrator, or other professional who believes the child is at risk.

Our Acute Intensive Mental Health Services provide short-term, high-level care with the immediate goal of increasing safety and decreasing high-risk behaviors. With a focus on the family, we provide therapeutic intervention, crisis management, and psychiatric services.

All youth in Acute Intensive programs at Edgewood receive the following as part of their mental healthcare at Edgewood.
