Burrell Behavioral Health Services for Children and Teens
Content added Feb. 27, 2026
We offer a variety of services to meet the behavioral health needs of youth in our community. We provide programs for individuals and offer group support when appropriate. Depending on the service, our staff may work with clients in their home, in the community, at school or in one of our facilities. We also offer services to support the whole family. This can feel like an overwhelming number of options, the good news is you don't have to figure it out alone. To get started you will meet with a member of our evaluation team. At the end of the session they will help identify which programs are right for your family and get you signed up for an appointment.
