Our Services

Our Access to Services Team is a family’s first point of contact within the Center. They educate families about our services, identify what programs they are eligible for, and enroll them in the program.

Our Prevention/Intervention Program provides group services (parenting/raising resilient children workshops, Mental Health First Aid, and support groups), assistance in enrolling in programs such as food stamps and Medicaid, and training/consultation for youth serving organizations in areas such as professional resiliency, wellness and trauma informed care. Examples of these organizations include Child Protective Services, the Juvenile Probation Department, and school districts.

Our Therapy Program is staffed by licensed therapists who conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes but is not limited to child/family history and strengths, sleep and eating patterns, medical issues, an analysis of family dynamics, mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, trauma history, and safety issues (e.g. self-harm, thoughts of suicide). Therapists and the family co-create a treatment plan. The therapist conducts individual/family therapy using research-based treatments they have learned by studying with the foremost experts in the field.

In our Psychiatry Program psychiatrists conduct psychiatric evaluations and medication monitoring as part of the treatment plan. As a physician, the child psychiatrist is trained to understand the body’s physical functions and the complex relationship between emotional illness and other medical illnesses. The psychiatrist prescribes medication when it is recommended and the family agrees

In our Client Centered Coordinated Care Program (aka Targeted Case Management) the family is assigned a Care Coordinator (known as a “care coach” and has the credential of a Qualified Mental Health Professional) who conducts a mental health evaluation and assessment, co-creates a treatment plan and ensures the family stays on the path to wellness and reaches their goals. Other members of the child and family’s “team” include a therapist and child psychiatrist. The care coordinator provides services in the family’s own home, school and community and teaches vital skills such as how to deal with overwhelming feelings, healthy sleep routines, healthy relationships and communication, and nurturing parenting practices to name just a few.
