Join Compass Health Center’s Creative Arts Therapy Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for immediate access to mental health care this winter break through an immersive experience at our Chicago and Oak Brook locations. Our program empowers children with essential coping skills through experiential and art therapies (recreation, drama, yoga, art, improv, and dance movement), promoting emotional well-being, stress management, and ongoing preparedness for the rest of the school year.

This comprehensive program is led by our psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and master’s level clinicians, including individual therapists, group therapists, family therapists, and experiential therapists. Creative art therapies enable children to interact with and understand their environment more deeply.
