Women’s Connection Inpatient Program

Our Women’s Connection Program

The women’s program at Chicago Behavioral Hospital provides trauma-focused treatment for women experiencing depression, anxiety, self-harming behavior, suicidal thoughts, post-traumatic stress, and other mental health conditions. Patients participate in:

• Process groups that utilize evidence-based treatment models, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and Seeking Safety.
• Expressive therapies, including art, music, movement, and yoga.
• Psychoeducational groups that promote the practice of healthy coping and self-care.
• Individual therapy to address goals around treatment planning and a safety plan for discharge.
• Family therapy, where indicated, to address relational issues and establish appropriate supports for returning to their home and community.

The Importance of Women’s Mental Health

At Chicago Behavioral Hospital, we understand the importance of a program designed specifically for women. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in eight women will experience clinical depression in their lifetime. Women experience depression at approximately twice the rate of men, but many do not seek treatment for their mental health concerns. Depression and other mental health conditions are treatable. Our Women’s Connection program is designed to help women of all ages get the mental health treatment they need to thrive.
