All of the services share common core
values, which include: individualized, family-driven,
strength-based, culturally competent, unconditional care.
In
1999 Westchester County Children’s Mental Health Services was
awarded a six-year 8-million dollar grant by the United States Department of Health and Human Services though the
Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
The grant was one of 24 awarded nationwide.
The grant,
know as the Westchester Community Network,
supports efforts to
provide quality community-based care for
Westchester County
children with serious emotional disorders
and their families.
Westchester
Children’s Mental Health Services was recently recognized by
the federal government (SAMHSA) as a Host Learning Community.
State and county officials from all over
the United States are
visiting Westchester to observe and learn
about the unique
principles that guide Westchester’s children’s mental health
system.
