About the Division of Social Services
At Cincinnati Children’s, our clinical social workers understand that managing any type of illness or hospitalization is a stressful experience. As members on every medical team, the clinical social workers provide ongoing support and counseling, crisis intervention, advocacy, education, and connection to community resources.
Who We Are
The clinical social workers are all licensed professionals who provide specialized expertise on the medical teams. We are guided by our core values which include promotion of self-determination, dignity and respect for all beliefs and cultures, and supporting the strengths of patients and families in their pursuit of health and wellbeing. There are over 150 clinical social workers within the Social Service Division at Cincinnati Children’s serving patients and families through their inpatient hospitalization(s) and providing ongoing services in the outpatient settings.
What We Do
Families and caregivers with children that are coping with a medical and/or psychiatric condition can experience difficulties and hardships that impact their emotional, social, and financial well-being. Families and caregivers may also find challenges as they navigate through the complex medical system. Our clinical social workers provide comprehensive services to assist patients & families through their journey. The clinical social worker can assist with emotional support and counseling, family issues/conflicts, safety concerns, discharge coordination, and access to community resources. These are just some of the things we can do for our patients and families.
About Partial Hospitalization Programs
The stress and activities of daily life can be overwhelming at times—especially for children and teens. But while a child may benefit from professional mental health support, they may not need the structure of a full inpatient psychiatric hospital. That’s where the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Cincinnati Children’s can help.
With PHP, children attend the program at a Cincinnati Children’s location during the day. And they spend nights and weekends at home. On average, participants stay in the program for 7–10 business days. Together, we work with families to create treatment goals that support each child’s unique needs. We focus on helping children learn how to better manage:
Typically, PHP is reserved for children and teens, who:
PHP provides intervention that can help prevent inpatient hospitalization. It also can be helpful right after a recent inpatient admission.
A child must be referred to PHP before they can start the program. The referral can come from a therapist, school counselor, guidance counselor, psychiatrist or any other medical provider. After we receive a referral, we reach out to your family for more details, if needed. Then, we schedule the intake and admission visit. At least one parent or guardian must come with the patient to this visit.
Treatment Team
You become part of a full PHP treatment team, which includes:
Treatment Focus
As part of PHP, we create a healing environment and make positive, healthy, trusting relationships. This foundation is key to the success of your child’s mental health treatment. During the day, we help children and teens, who have been struggling with emotional problems at home or school. The goal of treatment is to support children in reaching a healthier level of functioning. Treatments may include:
Children also may need separate services, such as psychological testing and speech-language pathology. Speech-language pathologists help with communication and social skills.
