Our Little Haven

Our Little Haven serves the young child and families impacted by abuse, neglect, and mental or behavioral health needs through a suite of programs all designed to offer and facilitate early intervention. We offer both physical and mental health treatment to children during their formative years, coupled with treatment services for the entire client family. Care is provided through Our Little Academy Day Treatment, Keystone Mental Health Services, and Community Family Services at the Taylor Family Care Center. Our Little Haven serves over 500 children and families per year.

Our Little Academy Day Treatment at Our Little Haven: Our Little Academy is a full day, year-round program that offers mental health treatment for children ages 3-5 who cannot participate in a traditional preschool/daycare due to social, emotional, or behavioral problems. Our team of master's level professionals provide individual and group psychotherapy, a safe and structured environment with a 1-to-2 therapist-to-child ratio, and support for parents or guardians. Children reach their potential as they experience art, music, playground activities and the pre-academics that will prepare them for their next educational setting. Our Little Academy delivers intentional treatment services, individualized clinical support, and comprehensive care to prepare children and families for a successful transition to kindergarten.

Keystone Mental Health Services at Our Little Haven: Keystone is an outpatient mental health practice that assesses and treats mental and behavioral disorders. The mission is to improve the mental health & wellbeing of clients, many who traditionally have limited access to mental health care, by decreasing symptoms and increasing functioning through early intervention. Our team of mental health practitioners offer a broad range of mental health care, including:

• Individual and family treatment: Psychotherapy and Psychiatry 
• Comprehensive Psychological Evaluations 
• Mental Health Assessments/Screenings 
• Parenting and Bonding Assessments
  
  Keystone practitioners are also specialists in treatment of the very young child, psychological testing, play therapy, complex conditions and cultural competence.

Our Little Haven's Community Family Services at the Taylor Family Care Center: Community Family Services provides services for children and families in the foster care and adoption community. Community Family Services helps fill significant gaps in the child welfare system by meeting current needs. Our professional and experienced team offers support and prevention services, including:

• Coordination of Medical Services (COMS): COMS is provided by a registered nurse, to help coordinate pediatric nursing care including medical, dental, developmental and behavioral health services as well as assist with tracking health and medical needs.
• Diligent Ongoing Relative Search (DORS): DORS aims to identify family and kinship providers and connections for children entering alternative care. Diligent Ongoing Relative Search services are also available for cases that have been open for longer periods of time with no family or kinship identified.
• Accelerated Permanency Support (APS): APS is a service that works to expedite foster care cases toward permanency (guardianship and adoption) by drafting motions and preparing documents for filing with the court.
