Philadelphia Children's Crisis Response Center

PCCRC treats children and adolescents ages 3-17 who are experiencing an acute mental health crisis, offering stabilization and healing for those in the midst of an intense emotional or psychiatric situation. Our team of experienced professionals helps calm the crisis by offering immediate counseling and assistance to avoid an emergency and prevent the patient from being placed in a higher level of care. At PCCRC, we treat young people who are facing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, aggression or behavioral disturbances, depression, anxiety, and other escalating emotional concerns. Our center offers therapeutic stabilization and a crisis stabilization unit for those in need of immediate stability, and we provide detailed aftercare planning to support continued recovery after completion of care.
