Child Study and Treatment Center


Child Study and Treatment Center is a state facility operated under DSHS. We work with children, families and communities to promote effective treatment, healing and growth in a safe, nurturing environment. Child Study and Treatment Center (CSTC), the only state psychiatric hospital for children, is accredited by the Joint Commission. CSTC is designed and staffed for the treatment of children from 5-17 years of age who cannot be served safely in less restrictive settings within the community.
