Family Based Mental Health
Family Based Mental Health provides a unique mix of therapy and practical services to families with children who are struggling with significant emotional and/or behavioral concerns. Services are often recommended to prevent hospitalization or residential placement and to reunite families with children who have already been removed from their homes. These services, delivered by a team available for crises 24/7, support the family and the function of the family to keep families together.
Our teams work to:
- Help strengthen and keep families together
- Help families learn new problem-solving skills
- Improve coping skills of all family members
- Teach parenting skills and new ways to effectively manage a child’s behavior
- Advocate for children in the school and the community
- Assist families in connecting with other needed resources and services
