Odyssey Community Services, Inc. believes that the system of care for emotionally disturbed or mentally challenged children should be community based. We believe families have the ability to grow and overcome difficulties. Therefore, we recognize and use the family’s existing strengths and resources by involving the family as a partner in the decision-making and goal-setting process.

The method of care utilized is tailored toward the needs of the child and family; the optimal therapeutic goal is child centered and family focused. We believes that counseling and treatment should be administered in a therapeutically trusting environment that enhances the personal dignity of children and families. We strive to represent the family’s wishes and individual goals and maximize opportunities for involvement and self-determination in planning and following through with home-based services. Our commitment is to maintain the integrity of the family.
