Children's Services

Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center Children's Services' supportive environment is designed to reinforce current individual strengths, while developing more appropriate coping, social and interpersonal skills. We use a team approach to provide services.

A team approach is utilized with the services provided, including:

• Assessment and diagnosis of mental health and substance abuse needs
• Individual, group and family therapy
• Case management
• Activities of daily living, parent skills training, anger management skills, and life and coping skills
• Consultations with psychiatrists and advanced practice providers regarding medication and treatment
• Teaching and practicing skills in a variety of settings

Children’s Services is based on industry best practices and evidence-based principles such as motivational enhancement therapy/cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and child-parent psychotherapy. All staff members involved in the programs are highly qualified and receive ongoing training to ensure the best quality of care is being provided. All staff members receive a high degree of clinical supervision to ensure the treatment being provided produces positive outcomes and program fidelity.
