Phone Guidelines

There are pay phones on the Adult and Adolescent Units (the Adolescent Unit pay phone does not accept incoming calls - outgiong calls only). Children use the phone at the nurses’ desk to talk with their families, guardians, and others. The child’s therapist will help the child decide who to call.

• To respect the interests of each patient, phone calls are limited to 10 minutes.
• Calls coming in during group sessions will be returned in order to not disturb the group.
• A patient who needs a longer call or a call during group time can make plans with their therapist.
