Emotional health matters for children and teens. It can affect their educational development and ability to connect with friends and family.

​

Emotional health can also affect their ability to cope with life's challenges and problems managing their behavior.

​

At OTTP, we offer a range of services including psychiatric, medication management to help identify emotional health needs, and to provide both treatment and support for children and their families.
It is a fact that children can learn to manage and recover from even the most serious emotional disturbances.

​

• The youth mental health groups help adolescents and teens develop life skills, improve academic performance, build self-esteem, manage anger, improve social skills, develop healthy coping skills, and identify positive leisure activities. 

• The multi-family groups bring parents and children together to improve family communication, develop positive family interactions, increase family problem solving and conflict resolution skills, and engage families in fun family activities.
