Rogers and Children’s Wisconsin have partnered to offer the Integrated Healing Program for teens suffering from chronic pain and mental health challenges. This unique program provides teens with a combination of intensive rehabilitative services, medical care, and mental health treatment.
“These are kids who have stopped participating in most of their usual activities and have a pretty poor quality of life,” says Kimberly J Anderson Khan, PsyD, pediatric clinical psychologist, Children’s Wisconsin. “They learn how to manage their pain and their emotions to get them to function physically and psychologically.”
“We use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, teaching teens how their minds and bodies work together,” says Kristine Kim, PsyD, psychologist, clinical supervisor, Rogers Behavioral Health.
