At MCCMH, we provide a wide range of services and support for children with emotional disturbances and their families. Our approach is family-centered, focusing on collaboration with families to enhance relationships and improve functioning at home, school, and in the community. We aim to foster resilience in children and families—the ability to recover from setbacks and build on successes, despite life’s challenges.
CHILDREN WITH EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES
Family Interventions
We offer many services to support families of children with special needs. These services include:
Family Counseling includes clinic-based or home-based therapies and interventions designed to improve daily life functioning and family relationships.
Family Skills Training educates and trains families who live with and/or care for a family member with serious emotional disturbance or intellectual and developmental disability.
Respite Care Services provide short-term relief to the unpaid primary caregivers of children with serious emotional disturbance or intellectual and developmental disability. Respite offers temporary alternative care in the home or another community setting chosen by the family.
Home-Based Interventions
Home-Based Services for Children and Families are provided in the family home or in another community setting. Services are designed individually for each family, and can include things like mental health therapy, crisis intervention, specialized therapies or interventions, service coordination, or other supports to the family.
Infant Mental Health
An Infant Mental Health Specialist is a therapist who is specially trained in relationships, attachment, infant development, and family interactions. The services are conducted in the home every week. We facilitate changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to heal the past, accept responsibility for the present, and provide hope for the future, all through the wonder of a baby’s presence in the family. The Infant Mental Health program serves at-risk families with infants and toddlers from pregnancy through age 3, providing:
- Advocacy
- Emotional Support
- Case Management
- Developmental Assessments & Guidance
- Family-Centered Services
- Parent-Infant Psychotherapy
- Psychiatric Services
Outpatient Counseling
Outpatient Therapy and Counseling for Children and Families includes therapy or counseling designed to help improve daily life functioning and relationships. Outpatient Counseling is typically provided in a clinic setting, on a regularly scheduled basis, and may be provided one-to-one or in groups.
