Children's Mental Health Services:

Case Management services are available to families with children experiencing severe emotional disturbances. This service helps families identify and coordinate mental health services for children and their families. Services are provided in collaboration with community resources i.e. schools, day treatment facilities and mental health service providers.

Our services are part of a continuum of children’s mental health services – providing education and prevention, early identification and intervention, emergency services, outpatient services, family community support, treatment screening, case management, therapeutic support of foster care, and professional home-based family treatment services - to families with children experiencing severe emotional disturbance.

Three social workers provide mental health case management services to an average of 52 children. In 2003, staff conducted 22 intake interviews. During the year, 7 children received out-of-home placement care. Program staff works closely with other agency staff and two contracted case management practitioners in providing services.
