Mental Health Services for Your Child

May 1, 2023

As parents, it’s important to be aware of the various mental health services that are available for children who may be struggling with emotional or behavioral issues. Here are some of the our services:

1. Case management: This involves a case manager who works with the child and their family to identify resources and services that can help with mental health needs. They may also help with coordinating care and navigating the healthcare system.

2. Psychiatric care: This type of care involves a psychiatrist who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders. They may prescribe medication or provide therapy to help manage symptoms.

3. School-based services: Many schools have mental health professionals on staff, such as school counselors or social workers, who can provide support to students who are struggling. This can include individual or group therapy sessions, as well as interventions to help students with behavior or academic issues.

4. Outpatient therapy: This type of therapy is provided by licensed mental health professionals, such as psychologists or licensed clinical social workers. It typically involves regular appointments, either in-person or through telehealth, to address mental health concerns and develop coping skills.

5. Substance Use Treatment: This typically involves counseling, education, and other interventions to help children understand the effects of substance use and develop healthier coping skills. 

It’s important to note that every child’s needs are unique, and the specific services they require may vary. However, by understanding the different options available, parents can make informed decisions about their child’s mental health care and ensure that they receive the support they need to thrive.
