Children’s Services
The Children’s Division provides a comprehensive system of care for youth experiencing emotional, behavioral, or substance use difficulties in their life, as well as education and support for family members. We offer more than a dozen programs for children, youth, and their families through a continuum of services.
Our professionally trained staff serve children and youth ages 0 to 18 (or even up to age 21 if they are still in school). Services include psychiatry, mental health counseling, substance use counseling, family counseling, care coordination, case management, respite and case aid services, school-based services, behavioral consultation services, summer therapeutic programs, crisis response and emergency respite services, CUPS – a mental health program for young children up to six years old, and JOBS – an employment assistance program for youth in transition who have significant emotional disturbances.
In addition to providing comprehensive services for youth and families in our three outpatient locations, we work in collaboration with early childhood services, and we provide school-based clinicians, interventionists, and/or student assistance counselors to many local public and alternative schools. Services are also provided in your home and in your community.

My son’s [HCRS] therapist meets with him at his school. She is amazing. She has developed a strong bond with him in a short amount of time. It is clear she is invested and wants him to succeed and feel good. We are very grateful for her.
Children’s service recipient -
Being able to have appointments through Zoom has been a huge help. It makes it easier to keep appointments, cuts down on stress as I don’t have to worry about transportation or if I can afford gas for my car. It also helps with anxiety when the weather is bad as I don’t have to drive. It is also really easy to get in contact with your team. Everyone is very reachable by either phone or email…I feel like I can reach out to either our case manager or counselor at any time, which helps with making me feel very supported.
