The flexibility with school was a game-changer. My son could attend IOP and still keep up with his classes.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

An IOP is a structured mental health treatment program that provides more support than weekly therapy but allows teens to live at home and attend school.

  • βœ“ Recently left a hospital or residential program
  • βœ“ Want intensive help while staying in school

Weekly therapy: Only 1 hour per week

Questions? We've got answers.

How long is the program?

Most teens participate for 6-8 weeks, but we customize based on individual needs and progress.

What about school?

The major benefit of Kin is that teens will stay in school. Sessions take place after school, and our curriculum is designed to balance homework and sessions.

Is virtual as effective as in-person?

Research shows virtual IOP is just as effective, plus teens often feel more comfortable opening up from home. They will be hand-matched with other teens based on preference, condition and rapport.

Are parents/caregivers involved?

Yes! You will receive weekly progress updates, talking points and (optional) coaching and peer groups as well. We know it's tough raising teens, and believe it's important to offer you any support you need as well.
