Intensive In-Home Services
Youth Impact Mental Health Company primary goal is to maintain children and adolescents within their homes and localities. Our secondary goal is to engage all relevant systems that each identified client is involved with to ensure that barriers to improved emotional and behavioral health are removed. It is our experience that treating an individual within the context of their families and other primary systems dramatically increases the chances of successful intervention. Research has shown that ecologic factors have a much greater impact on an individual than previously thought. Youth Impact Mental Health Company was developed with the guiding principle that for the most part, children and adolescents belong within the ecological context of their homes and communities. Utilizing a systemic theoretical foundation, Youth Impact Mental Health Company programs are designed to impact the multi-systemic environment our client’s reside in.
