Children
& Youth Services
Our
treatment team consists of the psychiatrist or
advanced practice nurse, community support
specialists, nurse care managers, and
therapists when needed. Services may be
coordinated through a community support
specialist assigned to work with the youth and
family. The community support specialist meets
often with the child and the family to assist
them and provide support so the young person
can function well at home.
Community support specialists
work with the family to develop and implement
a treatment plan. They also link families to
other services available in the community,
such as: respite care, treatment family home,
residential treatment.
Evaluation
- A mental health professional conducts an
assessment to determine service needs for
children ages 5-17 years of age. From this
evaluation, referrals may be made for
services, such as: community support,
medications, therapy, admission to inpatient
facility, other community services.
Counseling/Therapy -
Counseling may be provided by a therapist to
help a child reduce behavioral symptoms and
maximize strengths. Individual therapy
involves the counselor meeting with the
child/youth alone to reduce behavior problems
and set goals for the young person. Family
therapy involves the whole family.
