Kedren Community Mental Health Center

Children's outpatient mental health

Up to age 21

Children's Outpatient serves children ages 0-18 and transition-age youth 16-25 with emotional and behavioral issues, including trauma, bereavement and behavior problems. Families can walk in, self-refer, or be referred by a school or other party. Treatment is individualized to the child's symptoms, developmental level and needs. Services include assessment and evaluation, prevention and early intervention, individual and family therapy, medication evaluation and support, social skills training and case management. Evidence-based practices named include Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Triple P, FOCUS, Seeking Safety and CORS. A field-based program (FCCS/RRR) offers services in settings families prefer, with 24/7 phone response, for youth with greater needs. Hours are Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri 8am-5pm and Tue 8am-8pm. A sliding fee scale is published, and after-hours calls reach a live operator.
