About this resource

Partnering through educational support. We operate  therapeutic day treatment schools at our Gillis and Ozanam Campuses and Blue Springs location for students with behavioral or mental health difficulties. In addition, we offer consulting and training services in area schools to implement our trauma-informed Behavioral Intervention Support Team model and partner with area elementary schools to offer free mental health screenings for students.Improving mental and behavioral health.  Physical health is important, but so are mental and behavioral health. We work with both children and adults through outpatient counseling, substance abuse treatment and residential treatment to make sure that they are taken care of as whole people.Uniting families through foster care and adoption.
