Child, Adolescent, and Family Services

Our program for Children, Adolescents, and their Families consists of professionally trained staff that work with emotionally disturbed youth and provide a wide range of services for children and adolescents. Help is available for youth suffering from depression, behavior problems, poor peer relationships, withdrawal, physical and sexual abuse, and adolescents who are functioning below their normal level. These services place a strong emphasis on family involvement, helping to strengthen a family and give them hope for positive change. We work closely with assisting community agencies to assist in all types of treatment.
