The heart and soul of any mental health treatment center is the team of mental health specialists who help clients achieve their treatment goals. When the mental health treatment center provides programs and services for adolescents and children, the mental health specialists are especially responsible for their clients’ health and well-being. If you are the parent of a child or adolescent who may need more support and guidance than you or their school can provide, it can be overwhelming to find a perfect facility for your child.
HillsidesCares is a mental health treatment and education center in Pasadena, CA, that specializes in customized care and educational services for children and adolescents. However, what makes us a progressive leader in our field is the HillsidesCares staff. Our team of dynamic experts is the reason our comprehensive programs and services are so effective.
