“Team Up for Your Child/Family Roadmap”
2020-01-11 09:00 - 16:00
Getting services for a child with behavioral health needs can be overwhelming. “Team Up for Your Child/Family Roadmap” is a step-by-step guide designed to help families navigate confusing service systems and work smarter with doctors, schools, agencies and insurers. When a child has serious behavioral health issues, you suddenly have a team of professionals in your life who provide a variety of services. This team could include doctors, therapists, health workers and teachers but remember that the coach of this team is you – the parent. You are the only one who takes care of the whole child. Learn how to identify your child’s strengths and needs, make sense of reports and evaluations, understand your child’s treatment plan, track your child’s progress and translate the Individualized Education Program. Curriculum manual and lunch is provided at no cost.

Presented by: Diane Bouffard, CPSP, and Rebecca Williamson, CPSP, Regional Parent Support Coordinators

When: Saturday, January 11, 2020 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: St. Mary’s, 99 Campus Ave, Lewiston, Maine

Note: This workshop is offered free of charge to parents, grandparents and guardians who are currently parenting a child with behavioral health needs. Lunch is provided. Space is limited to 18 people, so you must pre-register for this workshop. (Not available via webinar)

2020-10-01 00:00 - 2020-10-31 23:59 | Virtual
There are too many individuals in our community who need a sign that hope still exists and that help is available.
You can help raise hope by signing-up for the virtual race or make a one-time donation to provide help now.
Why we run, walk, skip or jump for 5K.
At Crisis & Counseling Centers, we strive to never turn anyone away who has made the brave decision to reach out for mental health and substance use disorder treatment and support. With your support, we can guarantee that our neighbors will get the care they need, when they need it most by raising hope and support.
All funds raised will be used to help increase access to care for our clients by:

Funding our Client Emergency Fund, to help people in our client community that need help immediately. Funds are used only once all other resources have been exhausted.
Providing financial assistance to clients who are uninsured or underinsured access crisis services and longer-term treatment services; and
Helping fill the gaps for essential programming that is currently underfunded.
