Adolescent Residential Services

The Center for Psychiatric Residential Services (CPRS) is a 52-bed program for adolescents, age 12 to 18. Those receiving treatment at CPRS have experienced significant mental health issues. Referrals are accepted based on age and behavioral concerns.

This program provides a safe environment in which residents can develop coping skills and behavioral changes. The supportive atmosphere helps adolescents develop relationship skills appropriate for their return to their family or for the family they will parent as adults. They learn social skills to help them interact positively in relationships with peers and adults. Residents attend Kentwood Public Schools and receive homework help. Staff teach job-seeking and job-keeping skills. Residents are provided with a variety of activities on-campus and in the community to create appropriate skills and to encourage goal achievement.

CPRS Treatment Philosophy
The mission of the Center for Psychiatric Residential Services is to help residents internalize appropriate behaviors and choices by developing a more healthy self-concept and through skill building, utilizing the support of family, community resources, and the Pine Rest therapeutic staff.
