Child & Adolescent Behavioral Services
The area’s only comprehensive center that provides psychiatric services for children and adolescents (ages 2-17) with emotional and behavioral problems.
As a part of your child’s treatment, our primary goal is to provide a safe, therapeutic environment at all times. Halifax Health – Behavioral Services team works to establish healthy behavior by working with the child to learn new skills, socially and emotionally, and then by reinforcing positive feedback and encouragement for a smoother transition back into the home, family, school and their community.
Halifax Health has a treatment philosophy that centers on four main concepts:
A Holistic View of Individuals
A holistic view starts with the process of self-knowledge. This process is the connection of mental and physical health and how they work together to achieve overall health and well being.
A Team Approach to Treatment
The interdisciplinary Treatment Team is at the core of the treatment program. Patients are assessed by individual team members (i.e., physicians, nurses, social workers, recreation therapists, etc.) who then coordinate treatment with families planning, goal setting and treatment implementation with each patient. Team members have input into the treatment planning process and individualize it to the children and adolescents in the program.
Eclectic Treatment
Treatment is individualized and various interventions are utilized to assure the most positive results.
Patient and Family Involvement
Patients and families are provided with many opportunities to give their input and opinion as the most important member of the treatment team. They are strongly encouraged to take active role in the treatment.
Community Action Team
Our Community Action Team provides comprehensive, intensive community-based treatment to families with young children and young adults, ages 11-21, who are at risk of out of-home placement due to a mental health condition, co-occurring disorder or related complex issues for whom traditional services have not been adequate.
