In accordance with national and international best practice and the regulations and Code of Practice of the Mental Health Commission, Willow Grove is completely separate and distinct from adult units in St Patrick's University Hospital.

What we treat
The aim of the team at Willow Grove is to help young people manage their thoughts, feelings or behaviours so that they can cope better with everyday difficulties.
These difficulties may take the form of;
- mood disorders such as depression
- anxiety disorders such as anxiety or obsessions
- psychosis
- eating disorders
- or just finding the experience of day to day living hard.
We are a national service and accept referrals from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) teams and GPs.
