Headstart - the objective of this program is to promote school readiness by enhancing children's cognitive, social, and emotional development. Head start and early head start together serve pregnant women and children (birth to 5) and their families, who are under the poverty line or are eligible for public assistance, including homeless children, children in foster care and children with disabilities. behavioral health - the behavioral health program includes outpatient services, prevention, classroom connections, and camp challenge intensive outpatient program. Outpatient services - individual, group counseling, family counseling, and psychiatric services are provided by a staff of therapists and physicians skilled in child behavior management and family dynamics. Services to be provided are determined by the clinician and his/her clinical supervisor and can include office-based, home-based, and school-based settings. Prevention - these services are activities that are designed to reduce the incidence for future problems/difficulties in "at risk" populations and are not therapeutic in and of themselves, but are designed to have positive impact on the lives of children. They are typically education in nature but also may include supportive, consultative, referral and other activities as required. Classroom connections - a school-based teacher consultation and student counseling program designed to forward the behavioral health and functioning of students and, in turn, their success in achieving the academic standards. Camp challenge intensive outpatient program - a summer and after-school intensive outpatient counseling and therapeutic recreation service designed to help children with serious social skills deficits and significant behavior problems that are interfering with their ability to successfully function at home and/or school.
