Children's Crisis Intervention Services (CCIS) are provided at two Network Facilities. The CCIS staff offers families and clients the unique support and clinical expertise necessary to effectively treat children and adolescents in severe crisis. CCIS treats children and adolescents suffering from:

• Depressive disorders with self-endangering acts
• Impairment in judgment and reality orientation
• Impulsivity and loss of control
• Severe anxiety states following physical and sexual abuse
• Severe attention deficit disorder with impairment in social and school adjustment
• Chronic withdrawal and inability to relate to others
• Severe temper tantrums with danger to self or others

Children's Crisis Intervention Services reduce the severity of symptoms and stabilize young clients so they may move to the next appropriate level of care.

Therapeutic recreation, exercise, creative arts, educational therapies and daily living activities are provided along with medication monitoring and individual, group or family counseling.

For adolescents with dual diagnosis, or those with significant psychiatric or behavioral issues, specialized clinical tracks outside of CCIS are also available.
