The NorthPointe Family Center is a specially designed treatment center to help children and their families sort through difficult circumstances or issues, and to assist them in regaining a sense of confidence and hope. The program operates Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and can allow the child to continue in everyday activities with the family and within the community.
At NorthPointe Family Center we recognize that family involvement is essential to the treatment process. Through the use of individual family sessions and involvement in groups, the family is educated on mental health issues, conflict resolution, effective communications and parenting skills.
