Mission Statement
Adolescent Consultation Services (ACS) supports and empowers court-involved children and families by providing mental health prevention and intervention services to help them envision and work toward a better future.
About This Cause
ACS clinicians work to understand each child, identify their individual needs and strengths, and actively advocate for the child and their family by linking them to appropriate treatment services and educational resources. ACS services include: • Diagnostic Evaluations—same-day emergency mental health and substance use assessments and full diagnostic evaluations of court-involved kids. • Treatment—individual and family treatment focused on self-identified issues and helping the child or adolescent develop positive ways to manage life stressors. Psychoeducational treatment groups to help kids learn the skills needed to understand and cope with the challenges they face. • Education & Advocacy for children and families— education of children and families about issues identified during the evaluation process; advocacy for clients and assistance linking them with appropriate community services; and follow-up, with clients and providers, to help ensure that the recommended services are in place. • Education & Advocacy for the court and community—consultations to court personnel and members of the community; education for providers about the needs of high-risk, court-involved children; and advocacy for enhanced services and support for families.
