Program areas at RCS
Specialty Mental Health - RCS established a counseling center in 2002 to improve the lives of children, youth, and families in our community through supportive and intensive services, including individual, family, and group therapy. The counseling center program has evolved into the Behavioral Health Services (BHS) program that it is today, offering specialized therapeutic and behavioral services to youth, adults, and families across the lifespan. Our clinical services are fully integrated with all of our residential treatment, emergency shelter, and crisis care services. During the calendar year, 2,622 clients were served, 1,232 in outpatient services and 1,390 in crisis services.
Foster Family Agency - RCS has been providing foster care services since its incorporation in 1995. Our Foster Care programs are designed to create a supported living environment for youth in the foster care system. Youth are placed with approved resource families, who are educated through a multi-faceted training program in order to prepare them for meeting the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of the youth in their care. To address the differing needs of the children and youth within the foster care system and the complexity of family dynamics, RCS offers an array of foster care options. During the calendar year, 69 clients were served and we provided 12,790 days of care.
Family Social Services: Our goal is to strengthen families and empower our community's most vulnerable children by building a healthy and whole community, one child and one family at a time. We believe that through staff commitment and by providing a sense of community, we will assist our youth to develop healing relationships. RCS strives to help our children gain power in their lives, believe in themselves, and ultimately trust others enough to give and receive love.Wraparound: Redwood Community Services became the provider of Wraparound services for youth and families in Lake County in 2010.
