Youth and family services

Youth and Family Services provides therapy, community supports, and case management to children, youth, and their families in school, office, home and community-based settings.

What Every Family Should Know  
Families are the center of a child’s life! We believe by working closely with you we can make progress on your goals for your child. We offer you our experience and expertise to work in partnership with you. We may offer services in our offices, your home, school, and community. We serve youth ages 0-22 with a variety of presenting problems, including behavioral challenges, social/emotional needs (such as anxiety and depression), trauma, developmental disabilities, autism spectrum, and substance use. Children are often referred by schools, pediatricians, or families. We also want to hear about your child's strengths and what your family enjoys doing together. 

CSAC staff values working with families as a whole unit and recognize that struggles parents may be having often affect children. We collaborate with you to look for strengths to build on. With your permission, we coordinate services, behavior plans, and understanding of your child’s needs with partners such as schools, childcare providers, and primary care doctors to help to make services more effective.
