CHILDREN WITH EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES

Children’s Services

At MCCMH, we prioritize services that support the entire family. Our goal is to help children and families strengthen their relationships and improve functioning at home, in school, and within the community. We also assist them in overcoming challenges and building on their strengths, allowing them to recover and thrive during difficult times.

Family Interventions

We offer a variety of services to support families of children with emotional disturbances.

Family Counseling: These clinic- or home-based therapies are designed to strengthen relationships and support the child and family in managing daily life.

Family Skills Training: This training teaches families how to support and care for a family member with serious emotional disturbance or developmental challenges.

Respite Care Services: This service provides short-term breaks to unpaid caregivers of children with serious emotional or developmental challenges. Respite care services can be provided at home or in another place the family chooses.

An adult and therapist are in an office with an adolescent child. The adult holds the child's hand, while the therapist supports them with a hand on their shoulder, and they all listen attentively.

Home-Based Interventions

MCCMH’s home-based interventions are made to fit each family’s needs and can include mental health therapy, crisis support, special therapies, service coordination, and other supports. The interventions can be provided at home or at another location within the community.

Infant Mental Health

The Infant Mental Health Program helps at-risk families with babies and toddlers, from pregnancy to age 3.

Services include:

  • Advocacy
  • Emotional Support
  • Case Management
  • Developmental Assessments & Guidance
  • Family-Centered Services
  • Parent-Infant Psychotherapy
