Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health has expanded its men’s trauma program to Hamilton, offering trauma-informed outpatient care specifically designed for men.
For individuals who identify as men and have experienced trauma — from childhood experiences or military service to relationship struggles or life-altering events — this program offers a safe, respectful environment to begin healing.
Men are reluctant to come forward about trauma. Nearly one in 10 men experience depression or anxiety but less than half will receive treatment and more than four times as many men as women die by suicide every year.
More than 6 million men suffer from depression per year, but male depression often goes underdiagnosed. Over 3 million men in the U.S. have panic disorder, agoraphobia, or any other phobia.
“Our goal is to provide a space where men feel understood, supported, and empowered to take the next step toward recovery,” said Dr. Abdul Kazi, associate medical director. “This expansion helps us reach even more individuals who may be silently suffering and lets them know they’re not alone.”
The facility has supportive therapy groups led by experienced staff and tools for managing stress, improving sleep, and reconnecting with others.
The partial hospital program is five days a week, six hours a day. The intensive outpatient program is three days per week and three hours per day. Many participants begin with full-day treatment for a week or two and then transition to a part-time schedule. Transportation may be available.
The program is already offered in Princeton, Eatontown, Moorestown, and North Brunswick.
