BRIDGES Behavioral Health-Oklahoma Family Counseling Centers

BRIDGES Behavioral Health-Oklahoma Family Counseling Centers is a family counselor in Oklahoma City, OK. It operates as a partial hospitalization program offering mental health and educational services to students, with a full continuum of behavioral health services for children and adolescents in community-based or school-based settings. Its work bridges the gap between mental health and education.

BRIDGES uses a comprehensive team approach. Each child receives services based on an individualized treatment plan developed by their therapist, parents or guardians, school personnel, the treatment team, and the child. Every treatment plan is approved by a Medical Director who is a licensed psychiatrist. The program's integrated, evidence-based therapy treats serious emotional or behavioral problems in young people, with the goal of giving children and youth a safe, supportive environment to heal, move forward, and transition back to their traditional school environment. The program holds CARF International accreditation, an independent, nonprofit accreditation of health and human services that focuses on quality and results.

Families begin with an assessment. A Master's-level clinician greets families on arrival, and the assessment typically takes one to two hours depending on the concerns addressed. Parents are asked to be present for the entire evaluation, and their input is treated as a critical part of the process. After the assessment, assessment and referral staff consult with the family and recommend the appropriate level of care. Parents serve on the treatment planning team, and decisions about medication are ultimately the parent's, made through a team approach that includes parents and other members of the child's treatment team. BRIDGES handles communication with the school to get a child enrolled even if only for the purpose of attending the program, and transportation is provided for residents of the local school district and during times when the program is open but school is not in session.
