Hillside...a continuum of care for children, adolescents and their families.

Hillside was founded in 1888 and is one of Atlanta's oldest organized charities. Today, we provide treatment services to children ages 7-17 who have severe emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. Located in the Morningside neighborhood near Midtown Atlanta, Hillside is a licensed Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) and our programs include:

Intensive residential psychiatric treatment

Therapeutic Foster Care

Community-based family preservation services

Hillside’s primary form of therapy is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Implemented in 2005, DBT has proven to be extremely effective for kids in all three of our programs.
