Who We Serve
PRIDE serves children of all ages and their families. Children may have emotional or behavioral difficulties and may or may not be in the custody of their parents. PRIDE provides support to the child and his/her family through services in the home designed to assist parents in learning more effective parenting strategies and the child to learn more adaptive coping skills. For children that can not remain in the home, PRIDE offers residential options including therapeutic foster care and 3-4 bed residential treatment facilities.
PRIDE serves chronically mentally ill adults in their own homes, in the community, and/or in group home settings. The focus of treatment for adults is learning to manage their mental illness, recognize decompensation triggers, and to develop the skills,  social networks, and resources to live as independently and productively as possible.
PRIDE offers services that range in intensity and setting based on the individual's needs and preferences. Services may be provided in the individual's home and community to assist the care taker in the day to day responsibilities that come with caring for a loved one, or services may be provided in a PRIDE setting such as a day activity program or residential program.

What We Need From You
We want you as involved in the treatment process as possible. You are in the “driver’s seat” of the treatment process and we need a few things from you, such as:
A commitment to services- We realize that every person and his/her family is different, so a commitment to services may mean different things for different families. But, basically a commitment to services will mean:
- Your involvement in the treatment planning process.
- Attending appointments, such as doctor’s appointments, evaluations, diagnostic assessment, therapy, etc.
- A willingness to work with the Qualified Professional and other staff that may be assigned to you.
- A willingness to be open to constructive and tactful feedback offered by our staff that may be sensitive in nature, such as parenting skills, communication skills, family dynamics, standard of living, morals/values, etc.
- Communication: Open, honest communication regarding the progress that is or is not being made, staff issues, problems, concerns, changes you would like to see, etc.
- Provide us with input by utilizing the grievance procedure if you have a concern, completing surveys, and providing us with ongoing feedback about the services you receive so we can improve what we do.
- In the event that you receive 1:1 services (i.e. community support or CAP services), you may be asked to verify the staff’s time that they provided services.
- Maintain the insurance of the individual served. In the event that Medicaid or Health Choice Insurance is no longer valid, we expect you to notify the QP immediately to avoid being charged for services. This is covered in greater detail in the Financial Agreement form you are required to sign upon intake.
