Our commitment to helping troubled children and their families find success spans 20 years and includes a comprehensive array of programs and services.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Our Intercept program serves a broad population of youth, including those involved with multiple child-serving systems and those at high risk of removal from their families. The program specializes in diverting youth from out of home placements by helping their families safely maintain youth in their home environment. Intercept also focuses on reunification of youth who are in a residential treatment or foster home setting.

• Individualized Treatment: Design treatment to meet each individual family's needs; ongoing assessment and review of treatment progress assures individualized service
• Time-limited service: Treatment usually lasts three to six months
• High Levels of Support and Supervision: Work closely with multiple types of clinical supervision provided in individual and group settings, led by trained and licensed professionals
