The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides intensive therapeutic services five days a week from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Program participants are evaluated by a treatment team to create an individual treatment plan that includes group therapy, psycho-educational sessions, individual therapy, and psychiatric services.



Individual Psychotherapy, After-Care groups and Psychiatric Services are available when
participants are ready to transition out of the program and re-integrate into the community.


This program is staffed by highly trained clinicians. The Hume Center is a recognized internship site and services are provided by staff members and trainees (Practicum students, Doctoral Interns and Postdoctoral fellows) who are supervised by licensed clinicians.

The Hume Center was started in 1993 as an outpatient clinic operating out of a single room at a local graduate school. Soon after opening, the staff realized there was a need for a treatment program for people suffering from chronic mental illness to prevent frequent hospitalizations and improve their quality of life in the community. Thus, The Hume Center developed its PHP in 1994. The program was initially designed and is constantly revised through collaboration with program participants, their families and other members of their support network, community partners, referral sources, and others who have a stake in their wellbeing.
