Childrens Center Of Hamden Inc

Education program- (add) vocational opportunities prepare youth with job readiness skills and hands-on work experience. Occupational therapists and school social workers work with teaching staff to create strategies that help students learn how to manage their behaviors so they can return to the public school setting.

An outpatient continuum of care includes treatment services that range from one hour a week outpatient appointments to afterschool programs: extended day treatment and intensive outpatient. The children and adolescents who are served by the outpatient continuum live in the community and seek behavioral health treatment for a variety of diagnoses and symptoms that include anxiety, depression, psychosis, poor impulse control and more. A specialized team is trained to provide services for youth who are using substances. Treatment modalities include trauma informed milieus, group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, psychiatric consultation and medication management, advisement to peer-led recovery groups, outreach and recovery coaching.
