The
multi-disciplinary staff consisting of a psychiatrist, full and part-time psychologists,
social workers, counselors, case managers, parent advocates, and graduate level trainees,
offer individual, group, family, couple and play therapy, psychiatric assessment,
advocacy, and case management through our Outpatient Child &
Adolescent Program. Psychological assessment is also available for
diagnostic purposes through our Psychological Testing
program. Services specifically targeted for
youth involved or at risk of being involved in the Juvenile Justice System are provided
through our Bridges and Crossroads programs.
If medication may be helpful, Psychiatric
Services can provide medication evaluation and monitoring. Additionally, PCIT offers a
specialized behavior management program designed for young children experiencing behavioral and/or emotional difficulties and their
families. Individual adult therapy is not provided at the
Center, however, parental support services are available.
In
addition to the services offered at the Center itself and the two satellite offices, therapists offer group and individual
counseling at schools and other agencies serving children and adolescents in the
community. The Center maintains a Mental Health Clinic at Manierre Elementary School. Individual, family, and
group services are provided on site, as well as intakes and psychological testing.
The Center staff is available to meet with any such agency to offer its
assistance or to share additional information about our services and programs. Call Intake (773-325-7780) to make such a request.
Community-based
services such as problem assessment, linkage and referral, and psychoeducational programs
are also offered through our Urban Systems of Care offices
located in the Cabrini Green and Lathrop Homes neighborhoods. The Urban Systems of Care program is an
outreach and support program designed to assist children, adolescents and families who
reside in the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) communities of Cabrini-Green and Lathrop
Homes. |
