Bournewood Health Systems is a privately owned, stand-alone psychiatric facility based on a 12-acre wooded campus in Chestnut Hill, Brookline, Massachusetts. Founded in 1884 and in operation for more than 140 years, it provides mental health and substance use treatment across a continuum of care and is accredited by The Joint Commission.
Its services include inpatient psychiatric treatment delivered across six inpatient units, along with Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) sites in Brookline and Woburn, Massachusetts, and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) programming. Specialised treatment tracks are offered for adolescents and adults with mental health and substance use conditions. The Kaleidoscope Program, a dedicated PHP, provides affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ and Gender-Expansive community.
Clinical work draws on evidence-based, person-centred approaches, with modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), expressive therapy and motivational interviewing. The organisation describes its mission as respectful care supporting recovery at any stage of life, delivered across a New England footprint.
