Case Management Services, also known as Community Psychiatric Support Treatment (CPST), includes the successful treatment of behavioral health concerns where they occur – at home, school and in the community. Community Support Workers engage with children and their caregivers to manage a child’s day to day behavioral health symptoms. Families are connected to mental health, psychological, psychiatric, social, medical and natural supports. Each family receives a comprehensive plan coordinated with other community resources to achieve their personal goals. Along with offering CPST to children and families living in our community, youth in both residential and educational programs work closely with a CPST worker.

Experienced clinicians utilize a wide range of therapeutic interventions to help youth and their families struggling with emotional and/or behavioral problems associated with trauma, abuse, neglect, or behavioral health concerns. Specialty tracks are available for youth who have sexual behavior problems or who have been sexually abused. Individual and family therapy options are available utilizing both office, home, school and other community based locations.
