Youth Support Services

Midwest Family Care provides a range of services for youth and for families in the areas of respite, support, supervision, and care management. We partner with families, social services, and other health care and social service professionals in the community.

​

This program maintains a high staff-to-client ratio that provides intensive supervision and support for dually diagnosed youth, youth with system involvement, youth demonstrating potentially life-threatening patterns of behaviors like self-injury and eloping. Midwest staff is led by the treatment team and by Lynn Cooper, Director of Operations.

​

The Youth support team focuses on compressive wrap around support services designed to keep youth in their community—avoiding the need for inpatient hospitalization or for repeated short-term crisis interventions (which often require out-of-county or state placement).

 

The outcome: individuals maintain stability in their living situation while accessing treatment-like support in a safe environment.
