This program aims to help children and adolescents address social, emotional and behavioral challenges and conflicts through various interventions and treatments. Services may be conducted at the clinic, home or school.

Bridging Families

AACI’s Katie A program provides intensive community and home-based mental health services to children in foster care or at risk of entering foster care. The program focuses on holistic and comprehensive service expansion to meet the needs of children, youth, and their families ages 5-20. The program is committed to strengthening the collaboration between child welfare agencies and mental health services using the Integrated Core Practice Model (ICPM). AACI’s Katie A team is trained to provide services to clients with a trauma-informed and strength-based approach. This approach empowers children and their families, giving them resources to create a life worth living.
