Children’s Services at Interact
All of Interact’s children’s behavioral health services are individually designed and provided in a manner that is child-centered, family-focused, culturally sensitive, and least-restrictive. The fundamental goal of Interact’s children’s services is to help families develop a plan to optimize natural supports, realize potential for resiliency and experience the power to change at any stage in their development. Outpatient care is the first step toward managing behavioral and emotional symptoms experienced by children.
A child or adolescent who is referred for treatment will receive a comprehensive bio-psycho-social evaluation during which information from the parent or guardian, the child, teachers and other identified people in the child’s life will be gathered and assessed to determine an appropriate level of care for the child and family. When needed, referrals will be made to address more imminent safety concerns. All service decisions will be family driven and facilitate recovery and resiliency for the child and family members. Services for children and teenagers include outpatient individual and family counseling, drug and alcohol counseling, medication management and in-home and in-community supports.
Interact offers children services in places and times that make the most sense for them and their families. In addition to the services on this page, we also offer children outpatient services at our Greenridge Counseling Center and satellite schools. To make sure your child is receiving the all the supports they need, you may also consider our optional testing services.
