NorthPointe Family Center SERVICES

Most children grow up in a nurturing environment; however, children from time to time encounter feelings, thoughts or behaviors that result in difficulties in their lives and in the lives of those around them.

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.

How am I involved in my child's progress?

NorthPointe Family Center believes the family is the primary influence in a child's world. The family is an important component in the treatment success of their child and is viewed as partners and collaborators by the clinical staff. Parents give daily feedback through "home communication sheets" describing progress at home in the evenings and over the weekends. Parents attend individual family and weekly multi-family therapy sessions which focus on the specific needs of each family. The family therapist and nurse are available daily to answer specific concerns relating to treatment and medication issues. NorthPointe Family Center places a strong emphasis on treating the entire family with the goals of restoring a sense of hope bringing balance to the family unit. Click Here to read Parent Comments
