Child and Adolescent Anxiety Disorders Program at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital
About Us
Children and adolescents experience anxiety in many different ways during the course of their development. Many will require a specialized treatment approach to help them face these challenges. Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital has designed a comprehensive course of treatment to help them cope with anxiety and deal with issues that may be causing problems.
Our treatment approach includes working with your child's school, the parent(s) and other outside resources to best identify and meet your child's unique needs. Our school liaison and educational staff will work with your child or adolescent on issues such as:
- Returning to school

- Study skills
- Regulating moods such as depression and irritability
- Overcoming extreme shyness
