Champions offer programs for children and adolescents that address behavioral and/or mental health concerns.  We offer comprehensive and collaborative services including individual, group, and family therapy, comprehensive case management, life skills classes, and drug and alcohol education. 

Furthermore, we provide linkage and referral services to additional substance abuse and mental health treatment programs at Champions and other community-based providers, as well as linkage to our collaborative networks that provide housing, food, clothing, and transportation for those in need.

Champions’ treatment programs are offered both in English and Spanish.

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) | Psycho-Education Program

Explore addictions basics, histories of sue, cues & triggers, abstinence, and need for continued treatment outside of custody.

Anger Management for Adolescents (AMA)

Manage factors that may make you more likely to get angry, such as improving sleep so you're not tired and keeping stress low by using stress management skills. Identify situations that are likely to set you off and respond in nonaggressive ways before you get angry. Learn specific skills to use in situations likely to trigger your anger. Recognize when you aren't thinking logically about a situation, and correct your thinking. Focus on problem-solving in frustrating situations — instead of using energy to be angry, you'll learn how to redirect your energy to resolve the situation. Communicate effectively to defuse anger and resolve conflicts.
