Intensive Outpatient Program

"Thank you for all the time, energy and support you and the IOP staff has poured into A. over the past three months. Her light is starting to shine brightly again. There is more work to be done, but it is amazing to see her on this healing journey. We will forever be grateful."

"I really like the weekly emails and having the clinician’s phone number to check- in or get help when needed. That was a lifesaver."

"My child has said his experience has been positive which is so different because he has never said that before. The team has been so understanding and attentive to his needs and I am very appreciative of them."

"This program has been great for J. in helping her communicate with us. THe staff is so helpful and constantly providing updates."

"I see her practicing tools and techniques in daily life. I think she is more aware of her surroundings and she enjoys Hopewell IOP very much."

"My child really enjoys coming which speaks volumes."

"I really like the staff members and I feel safe when I sit with them and comfortable telling them things. I really like Kate and she brings good energy to IOP. IOP has helped me learn how to deal with my anxiety and when I feel anxious/upset what to do."

"The staff help me a lot and I can trust them. Doing the opposite skill has really helped me, thank you IOP. The Hopewell staff have helped me tolerate more by pushing me a little and then helping me along the way."

"I feel safe and supported here. I am really learning more about myself and how to deal with things."

"Our daughter attends Hope Well IOP (tween group) and I am truly impressed by their program. Jackie and Kate are fantastic clinicians who always have the childrens best interest in mind. I myself am a therapist and have worked in IOP/PHP for years and I have found this organizations IOP to be the best in CT."

"This program was a game changer for my client. This family tried multiple programs for their child and this one really worked and the changes in behavior lasted over time."

"My client who is a teenager really needed something different than individual therapy. He was struggling with school refusal, depression, and anxiety. The support and structure of the IOP at HHS helped him get back to school and start being successful. In addition, my client’s family really liked the family therapy they received. I was very happy with the results."

"It takes a village for raising kids these days. Thank you for providing that ‘village’ and community to her and our family. It made all the difference."

"I have never seen my child so engaged and she wants to go to IOP. We have been to three other IOP programs and this one really works."

"The support I get from staff is great. I like the other kids."

"The parent support group is just for parents and the we need something just for us through this process. The support helps and network of parents helps."

"I did not want to come to the IOP at first, and now I have friends there and it has become a place to get help. It is better for me than just weekly therapy because it is a group of people helping me."

"I was so worried about my child and what they were doing, but from the first intake meeting with Dr. K , I knew we were in good hands and that this program was the right fit for our family."

"I fought with my parents to not go to IOP in the beginning, but then- I really liked it and I will miss it."

"I honestly was not sure about IOP in the beginning- but- my wife and I came to the parenting sessions with Steven and our daughter stopped cutting and having suicidal thoughts during the program and it really worked. We are really happy we all stuck with it."

"Thank you so much for all of your time and effort with him. It really is making a difference and I hope that he continues in this positive upward trend."

"Thank you for providing a safe, welcoming space for us."

"We saw so many improvements at home and in school. On site medication management was great. Staff were excellent and formed great bonds with my son. We are extremely grateful to Hopewell Health Solutions."

"We are very happy about the structure and noticing improvements in behavior. This is exactly what I wanted for my child."

"You are a gift to Hopewell! I mean that. —adores you - you have such a beautiful personality and demeanor. As a parent, you have been a breath of fresh air in my experiences with supporting my child. Unfortunately, it is rare to find professionals so human...so open to wanting feedback and in that way, showing a true and honest desire to do the best job you can. You truly put your clients first. Thank you for being a gift to our lives and the lives of all the teens and tweens who will go through the IOP."

"Sandra and Amy have been amazing too. You have a great team and I have watched this program evolving in truly wonderful ways over the past 10 weeks. If anyone ever is in need, I am incredibly happy to recommend Hopewell for their child."

"We are so happy we have found this place- they have taken care of the whole family and I feel really supported as a parent."

"My child says that IOP is the best part of the day for them. I honestly was not expecting my child to be so excited to be here every night. We are happy we are here!"

"Thanks for making Michael a priority! I appreciate all the help and support I received here- hes is so much better than when he started!"

"We previously shared during consultation the difficulties M. had during first grade and how some of those behaviors carried into his summer activities and schedule. When our family found Hopewell we were in a desperate place for help, it seemed that we had hit a glass ceiling with him and the weekly therapy appeared to be of little success. It was such a glimmer of hope, support and possibility for improvement when we received a call back saying we can take him. We all knew it would be challenging considering he’s only 7; however, and I quote I was told “we like a challenge and we’re gonna throw everything at him we got”. Your team did just that and didn’t give up on him and for that we are grateful.We are most proud that our little, intelligent, funny, hyperactive, impulsive little man was able to keep up with the demand of the schedule. Of course, there were a few hiccups and the ride was sometimes bumpy but we made it. I hope that out of a hundreds words he at least retained one. I think the information was a lot for him but he persevered, he showed up, he participated, did his homework and that’s all we can ask for. Because of your willingness to accept M. we as a family felt better about his transition into 2nd grade. Prior to the IOP experience and working with Trina Martin we wouldn’t be here today. We look forward to the smooth transition to weekly therapy with Taylor. Again thank you for your patience, commitment, getting to know him and dedication in providing M. with tools for self regulation. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you next week!"

"To be honest, I was really unsure about IOP before we started at Hopewell. P. does not like groups and is shy, but we knew we needed to do something different and we trusted the Hopewell Team to give IOP a try. Eight weeks later, we are immensely happy that we took the leap and so proud of P. and the work she has done - we see great improvements at home and school and we have built a system for communicating about strong feelings that feels sustainable. Our family is better and thank you Sandra and the HHS Team for getting us there!"

"I just completed Teen IOP at Hopewell and I feel I received the tools I need to go to college with less worry and anxiety. I really liked the groups and the other kids and the therapists a lot. At first, I did not always like going and then I started looking forward to it , because it was making me better."

"I feel supported and open when I am here. I am allowed to be sad, awful, or happy. No one judges me. I have also been exposed to more social environments which I now like. Since joining IOP, I have become more talkative and stopped hating myself as much which I still want to improve. I like how they open conversations and allow people to have different opinions. I have learned my feelings are okay and people here support my values and feelings."

"I have become more positive and less depressed. The staff are playful and fun. I really like seeing friends and knowing I am not the only one with struggles."

"Kayla, Kaitlyn, and the HHS Team have been amazing to work with. My child has said that they are much happier and that they have not felt happy in a while. She has made friends in the group and is normally very shy. I have noticed the way she talks about her feelings is different and she has actually taught me some DBT tools at home. I feel lucky that she is having this experience at 12 and hoping that her teen years will be better due to the help she is getting now."

"My child is taking the learning, talking about it, and applying it. It is much more effective than weekly therapy for us right now."

"I like that Sandra is always available to me and is very knowledgeable. The children respect her and she is in tune with them."
