Instant helpline open to anyone in a non-crisis situation suffering from mental illness. Provides one-on-one emotional support and mental health information and resources free of cost.

Need Support? Berkshire Health Systems is here to help.

The Youth Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Berkshire Medical Center is a place where teens can get real help with tough stuff like anxiety, depression, self-harm, big emotions, or feeling hopeless. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to go through it without support.

The program runs for about 4 weeks, with group sessions held after school from 2:30 to 5:30 PM at the hospital. You’ll get to interact with other teens who get what you’re going through, and learn real-life tools to feel more in control, more connected, and more yourself.

Here’s what’s included:

A full intake to get to know you and your goals
Group therapy focused on building skills that actually work
One-on-one check-ins with a therapist
Meetings with a psychiatric provider to talk about how you’re doing and any medication needs
Family sessions (because support at home matters too)
Help planning your next stems after the program

Ask your doctor or therapist to refer you, or reach out to BHS directly if you have questions.

Call BHS at 413-447-2167 to learn more.
