Behavioral Health
The science of child development shows that the foundation for sound mental health is built early in life. A child’s sound mental health provides the essential foundation and stability that supports all other aspects of human development – from the formation of friendships, and ability to cope with adversity to the achievement of success in school, work and community life.
Child Guidance provides specialized assistance to families that include young children with challenging behaviors. We promote and offer relationship-based and trauma-informed assessments and interventions that include the child and the caregiver.
