The Children's Intensive Emotional & Behavioral Services (CIEBS) provides comprehensive psychiatric partial hospital services in a behaviorally based, trauma informed therapeutic setting for children between the ages of 5 and 13 years old. In our continuum of care children can attend one of two separate but complementary programs, the full day partial hospital program is 6 hours per day, 5 days per week or the extended day partial hospital program is 4.5 hours per day 4 days a week. These programs are open all year. Schools, pediatricians, the mental health community, and parents refer the children we serve. Children are referred due to various behavioral, emotional, social, and psychiatric needs that significantly influence the child’s ability to learn and participate constructively in the community. The children come from throughout the South New Jersey region including Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Ocean Counties. We provide a comprehensive evaluation and treatment approach that includes the child, family and community partners as integral parts of the care team.  Children are placed in a developmentally appropriate treatment room that becomes the setting for therapeutic interventions.  Interventions are designed to assist the child in accessing their social and emotional learning potential so they can be returned to and maintained in the least restrictive home and educational placements.
