How we work

Teen and adolescent programs sit at a delicate intersection: the patient is a minor, the decision-maker is a parent, and the clinical work touches school, family system, identity, and developmental stage all at once. We build marketing that respects every part of that — without watering down the inquiries your census depends on.

01

Parent-first acquisition

Most inquiries come from a parent in crisis at 11pm. We design paid media and landing pages for that exact moment.

  • Parent-facing ad creative
  • Crisis-aware landing pages
  • After-hours intake flows
  • Spanish-language family funnels
02

Developmentally honest content

SEO and brand content that speaks to teens like the people they are — not like marketing targets or clinical case studies.

  • Diagnosis explainers for teens
  • Parent guides by level of care
  • School & academic continuity pages
  • Identity, gender, and inclusion content
03

Referral & school channels

Pediatricians, school counselors, therapists, and IEP teams drive a real share of admissions. We treat them like a media channel.

  • Pediatrician outreach assets
  • School counselor toolkits
  • Therapist referral funnels
  • Educational consultant collateral
04

Family-system intake

Intake for minors involves consent, custody, insurance, and school logistics. We design the funnel to match that complexity.

  • Minor consent workflows
  • Custody-aware intake forms
  • Insurance VOB for dependents
  • Academic re-entry coordination
What's different here

The teen is not the buyer

Funnels built for adult self-referral fail here. Parents need confidence; teens need to feel seen. We design for both audiences in parallel.

School is part of treatment

Families won't enroll if academic continuity isn't addressed. We make accredited schooling, IEPs, and re-entry visible up front.

Safety language matters

Self-harm, suicidality, and substance use require careful framing. Our creative is reviewed against AAP, JED, and SAMHSA guidance.

We work with adolescent and teen programs across residential, PHP, IOP, virtual, and therapeutic boarding settings — including dual-diagnosis, trauma, mood, and gender-affirming specialty tracks.
