About Franciscan Children’s
Located just outside Boston in Brighton, Massachusetts, near St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center and easily accessible by public transportation, this center supports children and adolescents with complex medical, emotional, and developmental needs. It offers inpatient mental health care, rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, and medical services for youth from infancy through age 22 in a warm, child-focused setting.
Their care is guided by a trauma-informed, family-centered model that encourages healing and long-term growth. Children receive individual and group therapy, mindfulness and self-regulation practice, expressive arts, occupational therapy, and psychiatric support. These approaches help reduce distress, teach coping skills, and improve emotional and behavioral stability across a range of conditions.
One creative feature is the LEGO-based social skills group, where children participate in a structured game by building LEGO sets together. Each child plays a role as an engineer, supplier, or builder which requires teamwork, communication, and turn-taking. This playful yet purposeful therapy helps develop peer interaction, frustration tolerance, and emotional control in a fun, hands-on environment.
