The Brooklyn Children's Center (BCC) mission is to promote an environment for the development of healthy children and adolescents.
To achieve its mission, BCC provides the following services:
Child and Adolescent Outpatient Clinic - The clinic will provide early assessment of childhood emotional problems and high quality mental health treatment for youth and their families. Clinic offerings include individual, group and family therapy; medication management and health monitoring; outreach; individualized treatment planning; crisis intervention; complex care management; developmental testing and adolescent sexual behavior management.
Community Respite (CR) - The CR provides a short term (1-21 day), trauma-sensitive, safe and therapeutic living environment for youth aged 10-18. The goal is to stabilize the crisis situation and support the family's efforts to maintain the youth at home.
Day Treatment - The Day Treatment Program is jointly sponsored with the New York City Department of Education District 75 (P368K) and provides a fully integrated clinical and educational program.
Intensive Day Treatment (IDT) - IDT, a highly structured, short-term program (45 days), will serve youngsters who are challenged, in crisis, or temporarily unable to be maintained in a more traditional academic and/or treatment setting.
Intensive Case Management (ICM) - ICMs work in partnership with the child and their family in a strength-based model to obtain all necessary services to enable the child to remain in his/her home and community. Wraparound funds and home health aides are available as well as 24 hours, 7 days a week crisis intervention.
Learning Resource Center - The program provides individualized instruction and remediation for struggling youth. It also includes drop-in homework support, pre-GED services, standardized test preparation, transitional planning, and a family literacy initiative.
