Billings Clinic Youth Partial Hospitalization Program
The Youth Partial Hospitalization Program (YPHP) is a psychiatric day hospital treatment program for youth ages 7-17 with a mental health diagnosis and contributing mental health stressors who demonstrate the need for an intensive level of care.
