The mental health team at Child Inc works closely with staff and parents to meet the mental health needs of children and families. While prevention is primary to the delivery of mental health services, intervention is also recognized as being of critical importance to children and families in crisis or in need of individual counseling. All children enrolled at Child Inc receive a social/emotional screening to identify any possible need for services (skill building, behavior support, counseling services etc.). If more specific intervention is needed, with parent/guardian permission, individual observations and assessments are done by a Licensed Professional Counselor. Consultation is available to parents, teachers, family advocates, and any other staff working with children. Additionally, teachers receive support on how to address individual and classroom-wide mental health issues.
