Wayside’s Community Services provide a wide variety of mental health counseling, family support, skill-building, mentoring, and care coordination services that promote the resiliency and health of children, adolescents, and their families.  Mental health services – offered both at clinic sites and in family homes and other community locations – include diagnostic assessments, psychological evaluations, medication evaluation and treatment, and individual, group, and family therapy. Families are key partners in assessing their strengths and needs and in setting goals for reaching their maximum potential.

Community Services also center on prevention and support. Environmental strategies to encourage healthy behaviors and reduce alcohol and other drug abuse, healthy community activities, peer leadership, parent support groups, and a resource center for young adults are part of the array of supports that help family and community health. Wayside partners with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to ensure that families find both behavioral health and community supports through the Family Networks system.
