Services Offered

Outpatient Mental Health Services for Children and Families
Outpatient mental health services, using Evidence-Based Treatment practices, are offered for children and youth from birth to 20 years old. Children and youth with attention and behavior problems, exposure to trauma, anxiety, mild to severe depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders and other mental health issues can receive individual, group and family therapy as well as case and medication management.

Intensive Mental Health Services for Children
Children and families who need temporary, intensive mental health services - Full Service Partnership (FSP) and Field-Capable Clinical Services (FCCS) - receive counseling and other services in their own homes or community centers. Clients and families become more stable when they learn to develop coping skills, identify new ways of functioning and connect with supportive resources.

Youth Substance Abuse
Prevention and treatment services are available to adolescents and their families. Services include individual counseling, family counseling, alcohol and other drug (AOD) education and family education groups. Services meet Court-ordered and Probation requirements. Youth are screened to determine the appropriate level of care based on their substance use involvement; mental health services are offered when indicated.
