About Children's Home of York BRIDGES Program

Established in 2005, BRIDGES is a year-round psychiatric day treatment program (PHP) of Children’s Home of York for youth ages 6 to 18 facing severe emotional and behavioral challenges. Designed to prevent or step down from inpatient care, it blends intensive mental health treatment with on-site academics, helping students stabilize and thrive in both health and school.
The program uses evidence-based care tailored to each child, including individual, group, and family therapy, medication management, behavior modification, and educational planning. Clinicians collaborate with certified special education staff to build each child’s care and learning plan. This ensures students receive the mental and academic support needed for recovery and growth.
Clients are supported by a dedicated team of psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and educators who work closely with families. BRIDGES offers a safe, structured space for healing and learning, empowering each child to rebuild emotional strength and return to daily life with new tools and confidence.
