Description

Youth who exhibit behavioral health problems including substance use or behavioral problems need psychological care. However, determining what the appropriate level of care is can be difficult and potentially very frightening. The Youth Recovery Continuum and Levels of Care tools can help parents and clinicians make the correct determination based upon diagnosis, family system characteristics, and the stage of change of each family member. This presentation will cover how to handle crisis situations and when to involve law enforcement.
