Overview
ROWI Teen & Parent Wellness Centers provide mental health services for youth and families, with programs designed for kids aged 8-12 and teens 13-17 across 25 locations. They offer intensive and partial hospitalization (IOP and PHP), family therapy, and parent support in small-group settings, using a mix of creative, physical, and social-skills development approaches. A core element is the UCLA PEERS curriculum for social skills, and the centers emphasize family involvement, training parents to improve relationships, increase effectiveness, and support children’s self-discipline. The arrangement positions ROWI as a partner in mental health, including an official collaboration with the Los Angeles Rams, and aims to treat mental health as a strength while prioritizing short-term care as the foundation for long-term wellness. Their goal is to help young people and their families build resilience and thrive with skills that last a lifetime.
