We offer outpatient services for children and youth with mental health, behavior, and/or substance use issues. Each HCRS office has a specialized evaluation and treatment team which meets with you, listens to your needs or concerns, develops a diagnostic assessment, and provides an individualized treatment plan specifically for your child. Our team works with youth and family members to ensure you benefit from a range of services provided by our programs.
Substance use services are also available to screen and evaluate youth for possible co-occurring problems involving mental health and substance use concerns. Staff members work directly with youth, their parents, schools, and the community to help young people be happy and functioning members of their family, school, and/or community.
Psychiatric Services
Outpatient psychiatric assessment, counseling, and medication services are available to youth who are receiving other services through HCRS’ Children’s Program. Our board-certified child psychiatrists are available in each outpatient office and function as members of the Children’s treatment team. HCRS does not provide psychiatry as a stand-alone service without other clinical supports.
Counseling Services
Outpatient counseling services are provided for youth in individual and group settings in a confidential and safe environment. We also offer family counseling. Staff include clinicians with master’s degrees in psychology, social work, and mental health counseling.
Case Management
Our knowledgeable and resourceful case managers will work with you, your child, and other family members to support you in a variety of ways, including teaching specific behavioral and parenting skills, carrying out specific objectives from the plan of care, and providing home-based support and skill building. In addition to helping parents learn essential household management and life skills, our staff will connect you with other useful resources within the community. This service requires Medicaid eligibility.
Respite Services
Our respite service is a mentoring program for children who have limited opportunities for social/community outings and need guidance and support on social and behavioral skills. This service is only provided for HCRS service recipients. Each child can receive between 3 to 18 hours per week based on need or 4 to 18 overnights per month.
Intensive Family Based Services (IFBS)
Our Intensive Family Based Services program provides home-based support and assistance to families. The ultimate goal of IFBS is to help families remain together. The staff in this short-term program (13 weeks) work with you and the referring agency to assess the challenges you’re experiencing, establish focused goals, and help you find solutions. Our services are based on a strengths-based and family-centered model which works on improving family communication, increasing problem solving skills, and supporting parents in addressing a child’s emotional/behavioral difficulties.
