The Children’s Crisis Intervention Services (CCIS) is Hudson County’s only inpatient psychiatric unit dedicated to providing thorough assessments for children and adolescents. We serve children ages 5 to 17 in our 17-bed unit and provide short-term intensive treatment and stabilization to minors who are at risk of harming themselves or others.

Using various psychiatric treatments such as group counseling, occupational therapy, art therapy and specialized groups on topics like substance abuse, patients are stabilized within the shortest period of time and prepared to return to their family/and or community. The staff on CCIS consists of professionals specially trained to deal with the needs of children and adolescents including psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, mental health workers, social workers, occupational therapists, adjunctive therapists, and special education/learning consultants. All are dedicated to your child’s treatment and wellbeing.
