Behavioral Health Services for Children, Adolescents, and Families
As our children grow, they can begin to experience unexplained or unexpected behavioral changes. This can often be frustrating for parents who don’t know where to go for help. Pulse Community Health provides comprehensive behavioral health services for families with children ages 5 to 17.
Comprehensive Behavioral Health Support
Children and adolescents may struggle with a variety of issues that can significantly impact their lives. Our behavioral health program is designed to help children and families navigate challenging situations and build the skills they need to thrive. If your child is struggling with any of the following symptoms, we can help:
- Anger and/or Rage Episodes
- Lack of Focus
- Defiance
- Trouble Sleeping
- Significant Changes in Mood
- Bullying
- Depression and/or Anxiety
- Low Self Esteem
- Trauma
- Sexual Abuse and/or Assault
- Issues at School and/or Truancy
- Grief, Loss, and Abandonment
- Developmental Disabilities
- Suicidal Threats or Attempts
- Substance Use
Our behavioral health programs include four critical components. The first step is a psychiatric evaluation, which helps us to better understand a child and/or family’s unique situation, history, and needs. Our providers will then conduct a medical review to determine if there are any underlying medical conditions that need to be addressed, collaborating with primary care providers, therapists, and other specialists to ensure that all issues are identified and treated. We will then build an individualized treatment plan, based on evidence-based practices and research. The most commonly utilized types of therapy and other treatment modalities include:
- Cognitive Behavior Therapy
- Brief Solution Focused Therapy
- Group Therapy
- Family Therapy
- Crisis Intervention/Stabilization
- Stages of Change/Motivational Interviewing
- Behavior Modification
- Relapse Prevention
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Peer Support Specialists/Recovery Coaches
Following the start of treatment, our case management team provides ongoing support and resources, including school support, individualized education plans (IEPs), behavioral plans, parenting strategies, and more. We also provide foster care support to help children and families navigate the challenges of the foster care system. We hope that this ongoing support increases the likelihood of continuous participation in Pulse Community Health programs and continuity of care.
