Willow Grove
Located at St Patrick’s University Hospital, it provides a multidisciplinary assessment of adolescents, where the referrer has significant reason to believe that the adolescent has a mental health disorder.
Willow Grove offers a comprehensive range of interventions including medical, psychiatric, psychological, social and educational interventions and support. Its inpatient unit operates a therapeutic milieu model, which is a safe and supportive environment in which the team works to enhance the young person’s motivation to move towards recovery and developing skills to improve and maintain optimum mental health. Staff work towards a young person’s recovery in collaboration with them and their family.
Willow Grove provides treatment for a range of mental health conditions, including the following:
- Mood disorders
- Anxiety disorders
- Eating disorders
- Psychosis
- Hyperkinetic disorders, such as ADHD.
