Description

Specialties

Community Care is a private mental health agency providing psychotherapy, special needs camps and behavior management services in schools and in home to children and their families.

History

Established in 1997.

We began by providing services to mental health agencies and DSHS in homes, followed by work in public school districts that used our service as a preventative measure so that children did not escalate into requiring expulsion or inpatient treatment. We now primarily serve special education programs in multiple school districts and operate an on-​site special needs day camp during the summer and school year.

Meet the Business Owner

Eric C.

Business Owner

While working in a locked residential treatment program serving behaviorally challenged children in King County, our Founder created an opportunity to serve children’s mental health needs in another way.

He imagined providing a service using one-​on-​one Behavior Specialists to work with children as they transitioned home from residential treatment. Further, he saw the intense need in the system for staff that were as well trained as the residential counselors — to work on an ongoing basis with children in natural settings such as home or school.
