Youth Services

Mental Health Services

Youth and Community Services offer an outpatient mental health treatment program for youth ages 4-17. Our counselors see individuals struggling with a wide array of problems including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorder, and family conflict. Family participation is an integral part of the treatment process.

Treatment is individualized and may consist of individual, group, or family therapy. Youth and Community Services also coordinates with other community providers such as schools, physicians, legal system (probation department) and area hospitals. Case management services are available to assist families with issues such as housing, food, transportation, and leisure activities.

Alcohol and Drug Treatment

An outpatient substance abuse program is offered for adolescents. The focus of treatment is to help adolescents redirect their lifestyles in order to make good choices and be drug-free. Our program seeks to intervene with adolescents before their problems are severe enough to warrant more intensive treatment. Referrals are received from individuals, families, school guidance counselors, and juvenile probation officers. An initial assessment is conducted to determine the level of treatment needed. Individual, family, and group counseling may be recommended.

Prevention Services

Youth and Community Services offers prevention programs to schools, parent groups, social services agencies, churches, and community organizations. We also provide substance abuse prevention, early intervention, and abeyance services for District 150 schools in Peoria. Our counselors offer evidence-based life skills programs to middle schools. Most services are available to the community at no charge.
