Youth Services
Youth Mental Services in Marathon, Lincoln and Langlade Counties
Do you know a child who faces challenges at home, school or in the community? Do you know a young person with special needs who could benefit from additional support and services? Community Treatment Youth Services may be able to help. At North Central Health Care, we provide a variety of services and support aimed at assisting families who have children with special needs.
Our Youth Services program seeks to:
- Work with families to help them get the services and support they need to keep their child at home in the community while meeting their unique needs
- Support youth in their home, community and school settings
- Use a family-centered approach to providing services, letting families guide the services provided for their child
Programs We Offer
As each person is different, our voluntary programs are designed to meet each individual’s needs. By providing care services fit to their level of independence, our program helps children gain as much independence as they can while being supported.
Our programs include:
- Children’s Long Term Support (CLTS)* and Children's Community Options Program (CCOP)*: These programs make funds available to support children who have significant limitations due to developmental, emotional and or physical disabilities. Applicants must have a physical disability, developmental disability or mental illness. *North Central Health Care offers CLTS and CCOP in Lincoln and Langlade counties only.
- Comprehensive Community Services (CCS): A community-based service that offers an array of services to youth with mental health and/or substance use disorders. Applicants must have a mental illness, substance use disorder, be in need of services more than those provided by outpatient counseling and psychiatry.
- Coordinated Services Team (CST): Provides wraparound services to families with children who are involved in two or more systems of care and have complex needs. Systems of care include special education, mental health or substance use services, juvenile justice or child welfare.
