Behavioral Health Programs at Primary Children’s Wasatch Canyons
Young patients began care through the Pediatric Behavioral Health Crisis Center, where urgent stabilization and assessment take place in a safe, medically supervised setting. From there, children and teens could transition into inpatient behavioral health programs that address acute psychiatric needs, substance use concerns and co-occurring disorders with 24-hour clinical oversight.
Treatment included individual and group therapy, expressive therapies such as music and art therapy, psychiatric medication management and family involvement to support long-term recovery. The campus emphasized a holistic, trauma informed approach to help young people build coping skills, strengthen family relationship, and safely return to school and community life.
