ACS provided mental health services to 438 court-involved children and families last year. We intervene at critical points in a child’s life when positive outcomes are still possible. Our staff, composed of social workers, mental health counselors, and psychologists, provide these services at no-cost to children and families.
In FY18, ACS staff provided:
- 508 comprehensive diagnostic evaluations
- 98 same-day emergency evaluations
- 209 hours of no-cost treatment provided

- 83% of children improved their attendance at school or an alternative educational setting
- 89% of families became more engaged in treatment
