SERVICES - COMMUNITY SERVICES

Fred Finch Youth Center provides services tailored to the needs of individuals and their families. Strength-based and culturally competent, our services are aimed at providing support at home and in the community.

We offer the following services to youth, teens, young adults, and their families:

Short-Term Outpatient Services: Services include assessment, stabilization, and immediate mental health intervention. The goal is to provide supports that protect the individual from losing their current living situation or to move to a less intensive care:

• Crisis Assessment and Stabilization Services (CASS): We provide intensive psychological and psychiatric assessment, crisis stabilization, and ongoing treatment for youth in foster care.
• In-home Services: We provide support, education and treatment for biological or foster families who want to provide a home for their youth.
• Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS): We offer intensive services designed to help youth achieve the stability and remain safe in their community.

Ongoing Outpatient Services: Services are designed to provide treatment of mental health impairments and reduce symptoms that interrupt daily functioning. They can be offered in a home, group home, or foster home. Some examples are:

• Visiting Therapist: Services include a full range of clinical interventions to assist youth with barriers to receiving traditional, office-based, therapy.
• Full Service Partnerships: These comprehensive services are based on a “whatever it takes” philosophy of care and provide mental health, case management, vocational, and housing services specifically for youth with mental health impairments or who are facing homelessness.
• Wraparound Services: This emerging practice provides alternative treatments to youth and their families who are dependents of the court. Wraparound services build on the strengths of the client and their family to meet their needs.
• Transitions Program: The Transitions Program provides support through the transition from foster care to adult independence. Services include assistance with money management, housing, employment and mental health.
• Housing Services: The Coolidge Court Program is an industry leader in providing supportive housing to mentally impaired individuals. The program provides studio apartments, activity space, on-site staff, and access to supportive services.
