The Behavioral Health in Schools program provides individual psychotherapy at the school, to students who might otherwise be unable to attend traditional outpatient services
Building Bridges is a school-based mental health program that serves students in grades
4K-8, with immediate mental health needs, and their families.
Choices program is provided in area middle schools to reduce alcohol use by students. School staff help identify students who have a need for intervention and their parents agree for them to participate. We educate and guide these youth towards healthier choices and improved functioning at home and school. Choices also provides education and resources for the parents, and if needed, referrals for treatment.
