OESTERLEN’S COMMUNITY SERVICES
Oesterlen began its Community Services programming in 1971 with the opening of a Children’s Mental Health Counseling Clinic, now the Brooker Community Counseling Center. In addition to this counseling program, Community Services has since expanded to include adult counseling services, a Service Coordination Program, a Head Start Consultation Program and a Respite and Resource Center.
The focus of Community Service programs is to assist children, youth, adults and families in a non-residential environment. The focus is to help develop new skills, expand abilities, and empower individuals to thrive. The goal of treatment is to redirect lives and family situations so clients can function more effectively at home, in school, at work, and in the community. We serve individuals regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin, or handicap (unless specific treatment programming is required).
