COUNSELING
A new feature on childmind.org called Connect to Care. The resources there are designed to help you through the process of getting care for your child, from the first phone call to the final treatment session. Connect to Care is part of our newly launched Family Resource Center, which features over 700 evidence-based resources on kids’ mental health, learning disorders and common parenting challenges — all in both English and Spanish. No matter what your child is struggling with, you’ll find expert advice and practical guidance to help them thrive.

"The Family Crisis Intervention Unit is a county funded program within Harbor House, offering free counseling and case management services to Ocean County residents. Our counselors are trained and qualified to intervene in family crises, working with juveniles ages 10 to 17 years old and their families.
At the Family Crisis Intervention Unit we aim to divert cases involving juvenile family crises from the courts by providing our families with the counseling, case management, and referral assistance needed to stabilize the immediate family crisis. Our counselors work to maintain a network of services and county agencies including police, schools, physicians, substance abuse services, and other juvenile agencies to coordinate services for our families."

YAP carries out our mission through direct services, advocacy and policy change, training and consultation and investing in futures."
