Specialized Programs

Alta knows that healthy children come from healthy communities. Alta Behavioral Healthcare offers specialized programs beyond just our mental health services. Overall wellness is as much about physical health as it is about mental health.

Transition to Independence Program (TIP)

Transition to Independence services are provided to young people aged 16-21 to assist them in a successful transition to adulthood. Services focus on education, employment and life skills such as budgeting, meal planning/preparation, positive peer relationship building and communication enhancement.

Trauma Recovery Services

Certified Trauma professionals work with children and families who have had significant adversity and/or loss in their lives, helping people overcome negative experiences through individual and group services. Trauma professionals have extensive training to enhance the natural counseling process and promote healing from traumatic experiences.

Peer Support Services

Peer Support Services offer a way to both give and receive support and education from individuals with shared life experiences. Those who are in recovery from mental illness and/or addiction use their own lived experience as a tool to assist others by sharing their personal journeys. This service is available to those experiencing mental health or addiction issues, as well as to support the parents of adolescents who are going through treatment.

Respite Services
Respite services help parents and caregivers time to re-charge from the daily care of their loved ones. These services are funded by community resources such as Family and Children’s First Councils and local Developmental Disability Boards to name a few.
Respite Events are free and open to any family in Mahoning or Trumbull County with children who have a Mental Health diagnosis. These four-hour events give parents a welcome break from caring for the child’s needs — while at the same time involving children in a structured activity in which he/she can learn positive social engagement and have fun with other kids in an enjoyable way. Several Respite Events are scheduled each year at Alta Camp Challenge.
Camp Challenge

For over 30 years, Alta has provided summer programming to youth with social and emotional needs at The Camp Challenge Intensive Experiential Group Counseling Program. This five week therapeutic program uses behavior modification and cognitive behavioral therapy in group settings to improve behaviors. The program is designed for youth ages six to 12 who require a more intensive level of behavioral health services, meet medically necessitated standards, and have functioning problems that are moderate to severe. Youth are referred by their primary therapist or Alta Community Support Worker.

FIRST Program

FIRST is a specialized program to help adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15-35 who have had their first episode of psychosis. The program aims to have these individuals enter treatment quickly, improve recovery outcomes, provide support and education for the individual and family and to reduce chances of relapse including hospitalizations. Qualifying participants must agree to participate in at least two of the services offered which include: Psychiatric Care, Individual Resiliency Training, Psycho-family Education and Support, Case Management and Supportive Employment. All referrals should be made to FIRST team leader, Vince Paolucci at Alta or by calling the FIRST line 234-201-2512.
