Galen Hope

Galen Hope Comprehensive treatment for primary mental health conditions, primary eating disorders, and/or complex dual diagnoses for adults and adolescents.

The Galen Hope experience is unique in that the treatment milieu is comprised of other clients, the staff, and the community at large. It is the synergy of these three components that creates the backdrop for the sound clinical services and strong behavioral supports and expectations that lead to an unlocking of the mental illness and the unfolding of the healing process. Our treatment integrates the best concepts of residential programs, partial hospitalization programs, and community psychology in order to provide an experience that not only feels uniquely meaningful to the client, but also breaks the cycle of repeated hospitalizations, over-institutionalization, and isolation from community and family.

Today begins Eating Disorder Awareness Week. This year’s theme: “Fighting for Change, Committed to Change”, reminds us that change starts with how we show up for ourselves and for each other:

🔹 Listening without judgment
🔹 Challenging diet culture & weight stigma
🔹 Taking symptoms seriously, early
🔹 Connecting people to qualified care

🟦 Change looks like early intervention, compassionate support, and a community where people feel safe enough to heal.

If you’re worried about someone, say something. If you’re struggling, you deserve support now, not later.

Help is here, whenever you’re ready.

Screens are everywhere. So when does “screen time” become screen addiction (or problematic screen use)?

A helpful takeaway from recent research is that it’s often less about the number of hours and more about impact: when screens start interfering with sleep, mood, school, or relationships.

Signs it may be a problem:
🔹 Can’t cut back (even when they want to)
🔹 Big mood swings/irritability when the phone is taken away
🔹 Sleep changes, late-night scrolling, daytime fatigue
🔹 Pulling away from friends/family or activities they used to enjoy
🔹 Grades/attendance slipping

Two small shifts that can help (and are often the biggest “bang for your buck”):
✔️ Devices off 60 minutes before bed
✔️ Device-free meals (even a few nights/week)

If you’re concerned about your teen, know that support is available. Learn more at galenHOPE.com or reach out to Galen Hope.

This Black History Month, we’re highlighting what culturally responsive treatment really means.

It’s care that recognizes culture and identity as strengths, and adapts treatment to meet someone where they are. That includes respect for lived experience, curiosity and humility (we ask, we don’t assume), and building safety and trust through transparency and choice. It also means understanding how systemic stressors can impact mental health, and collaborating so care aligns with your goals, values, and supports.

At Galen Hope, we’re committed to whole-person, individualized treatment for eating disorders and mental health, grounded in compassion, dignity, and connection, so every client feels seen, heard, and supported.

“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, & more unashamed conversation.” — Glenn Close

At Galen Hope, we believe healing starts with honesty, connection, and the courage to talk about what’s hard. If you or someone you love is struggling, you don’t have to do it alone.
