Mental Health, Behavioral Services and Community Resource Center
Our program is specifically designed to provide extensive mental health therapeutic support and education to youth and adults experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties as well as their families. Our programs are currently located at 311 MacArthur Drive, Sunset, LA 70584
We, the staff of YES I CAN, Exceeding Life’s Challenge
s, Inc., place a strong emphasis in treating youth, adults and their families in a safe environment where a team of qualified professionals provide education and therapeutic treatments with the goals of restoring a sense of hope, bringing balance to the family unit and providing a tailored treatment plan based on the individuals specific needs. This level of assistance is appropriate for someone who needs support to manage a crisis, prevent the need for hospitalization, or transition from an inpatient setting. Our program offers a variety of support services to help youth and their families receive “intermediate” care when needs are too complex to be effectively managed in an office outpatient setting. We expect you or your child to take an active part in their treatment and to make use of the therapeutic, supportive, and educational services the program provides. Consumers will be responsible for knowing the goals for their treatment plan, following treatment recommendations, taking prescribed medication, and interacting constructively with staff and other patients. We, the staff, will support strengths and capacity for health and growth. Together we will work to increase the consumer’s sense of innate health and eventual independent functioning at home, school, and the community. SOME OF THE REASONS TO CONSIDER ADMISSION
