Wellpath aims to address the behavioral, psychiatric, academic, social and emotional needs of children and families.  Treatment at Wellpath is based on research or clinical practice guidelines where they exist.  We match the treatment to the assessed needs, age, development and personal goals of the client and family.  Wellpath staff assists clients and their families in identifying successful coping or problem-solving skills based on the individual’s strengths, formal and informal supports and preferred solutions.  Wellpath staff additionally helps families realize ways of maintaining and generalizing the gains made to other areas of their children’s lives.

Our Approach to Caring
When children are having behavioral and emotional problems, these problems affect the whole family.  Wellpath advocates that behavioral health treatment for children is most effective when parents and caregivers participate and there is collaboration with teachers and pediatricians.  Our treatment and support   includes and involves all family members to understand the problems and determine solutions that work for everyone.  Therapy is more effective when the clinician, doctor, nurse, teacher, child and family are working collectively. We can be successful in reaching our goal of keeping more children and families safe, healthy and happy together.

Wellpath provides accessibility to its services through convenient locations and appointment times, through community outreach and delivery of out-of-office services, and through linguistic and cultural competencies among its clinical and support staff.
