Child and Adolescent Program In Lagos

“Treat a child’s pain with compassion and skill today, and you unlock the strengths that shape their choices, resilience, and a hopeful future for generations.”

– Dr Akeem Adeyemi (FMCPsyce)

Child and Adolescent care at Hakron Specialist Care Center focuses on helping young people overcome severe emotions, distress, and behaviors that disrupt life and family. We provide a safe, structured Child and Adolescent Program in Lagos that teams psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and therapists to deliver fast, practical help.

We begin every case with a thorough clinical assessment. Clinicians evaluate medical history, mood patterns, attention and cognitive function, sensory needs, and family dynamics. Then we translate findings into a clear plan. That plan may include diagnostic clarification, medication management, neuropsychological testing, or sensory assessments—whatever the child needs to stabilize and progress.

We offer both inpatient and outpatient options so families choose the right level of care. In inpatient care, staff provide intensive supervision, daily therapy, and school support where needed. In outpatient care, clinicians deliver one-on-one counseling, behavior modification therapy, and structured family sessions that reinforce progress at home. We adapt the program to each child’s development stage and learning style.

Therapies at Hakron include behavior modification, speech therapy, social skills groups, and individual tutoring when learning difficulties arise. Clinicians use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-informed care, and skills training to reduce self-harm, improve attention, and ease anxiety. Our clinicians teach coping strategies that young people actually use, and we coach families to support those skills between sessions.
