ACS clinicians work to understand each child, identify their individual needs and strengths, and actively advocate for the child and their family by linking them to appropriate clinical services and educational resources. Our goal is to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline by providing the professional mental health services children need to improve their long-term health and well-being. We do this by providing children and families with access to direct, no-cost mental health care and assistance navigating the juvenile justice and child welfare systems.
