Latino Services

The Latino Partial Hospitalization Program at Arbour Hospital and Arbour Counseling Services - Lawrence offer intensive, short-term treatment for Latino adults with psychiatric or dual diagnosis disorders.  Psychotherapy and psychoeducation groups are all conducted in Spanish, and the program is staffed by bilingual and bicultural clinicians who can address cultural and societal issues within the context of treatment.  Goals of the program include:  to assure consistency with patients’ cultural and linguistic needs; to provide psychoeducation and help patients develop effective coping skills; and to offer an effective alternative to, or step down from, inpatient hospitalization.  Treatment components include individual, group and family therapy; brief treatment model with no required length of stay; medication evaluation and monitoring; and coordination with outside referral sources at all stages of treatment.  Bilingual and bicultural outpatient therapy is also available at select Arbour Counseling Services sites throughout eastern Massachusetts, including directly on the Arbour Hospital campus in Boston.
