“The Greenwich Hospital Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a group therapy-based program for patients ages 13–17. Our IOP provides a higher level of care than traditional once-a-week individual therapy but is less intensive than inpatient hospitalization. An Adolescent IOP is often an ideal approach for those who can reasonably maintain day-to-day activities but need more support than weekly counseling sessions with an outpatient individual therapist. Teens should be largely able to keep themselves safe without significant monitoring on nights and weekends.

Teens at this level of care can live at home and attend school but need extra support for their mental health. Our program includes three hours of group therapy three days a week, with additional individual and family therapy, psychiatry services and parent support. Treatments last around 6–8 weeks.

Our Adolescent IOP offers a range of intensive therapeutic, interpersonal and skill development opportunities in addition to more traditional individual and family interventions. The Adolescent IOP curriculum uses evidence-based treatment modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, executive function, healthy living and psychoeducation.”

"Greenwich United Way has been a trusted partner of the Greenwich community, government and local organizations since 1933. We have focused on community solutions in the areas of education, financial stability and health for over 80 years."

Greenwich Public Schools’ community partner, Waste Free Greenwich, recently released its food scrap recycling program report for the 2023-2024 school year. They tell us that since 2023, food scrap recycling has been rolled out to six elementary school cafeterias, increasing the diversion rate from 45% to 74% on average. The program will be launched at an additional three schools this year.

A pilot of food scrap recycling, implemented at New Lebanon School from January to June 2023, achieved a diversion rate of 75% and eliminated 3,570 lbs. of organic material from the waste stream. During the 2023-24 school year, GPS Facilities, PTAC Green Schools and Waste Free Greenwich worked collaboratively to expand the program to additional elementary schools - Hamilton Avenue, Julian Curtiss, Old Greenwich, Parkway, and Riverside.

For more information, including procedures, educational training, launch schedules, and recommendations, read the full report or visit Waste Free Greenwich’s website.
