Mission Health's Sweeten Creek Mental Health & Wellness Center has initiated an intensive outpatient program (IOP) aimed at assisting adolescents facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. Unlike traditional inpatient care, this program offers both individual and group therapy, along with medication management, without requiring overnight hospital stays.

Sarah Moffitt, the Director of Clinical Services, detailed the program, stating, "We have services 3 days a week, and they go from 3:30pm to 7:30pm, so it ends up being about nine to ten hours of therapy a week." The focus of the program is to develop coping skills that ensure teens can remain safe within their communities and effectively manage their emotions. Moffitt emphasized the program's role in enhancing family engagement, enabling teens to communicate their needs and access help when necessary.
