Inpatient Care for At-Risk Adolescents

The Worthy Program is an acute inpatient program at Garfield Park Behavioral Hospital for adolescents who are at risk of being sex trafficked or have experienced it. This specialized program provides an accepting, judgement-free environment to help young patients heal from psychological traumas related to sex-trafficking.

The Worthy Program is the first known program to address the acute mental health needs of commercially exploited youth in an inpatient psychiatric setting. The Worthy Program utilizes a trauma-informed care approach to meet the complex needs of youth in a secure environment.
