After 18 months of serving patients and families utilizing a unique model of comprehensive diagnostic assessment and treatment, Williams House at Lindner Center of HOPE is enhancing its programming by refining its offerings to better meet patients where they are.

Williams House offers a specialized and intimate setting within the Lindner Center of HOPE, focusing on intensive assessment and treatment of patients, age 11 through 17, suffering with complex, co-morbid mental health issues. A new 14-day core program has a primary goal of completing an intensive assessment, determining an accurate diagnosis, and planning the best next steps. The detailed but concise diagnostic picture, which may include the results of genetic testing, informs the development of the optimal psychopharmacologic treatment plan.
