PerformCare

Perform Care

PerformCare is a program that aims to help children, adolescents, and young adults up to the age of 21 who struggle with behavioral health, developmental or intellectual disabilities, and certain substance abuse issues.  Unlike a crisis unit, PerformCare's aim is prevention and early intervention.  When children show signs of possible behavioral, developmental, intellectual, or drug abuse issues, PerformCare will inform and direct parents in creating a stable home that promotes healing, safety, and comfort.  Providing a child with an environment that prevents them from going down an unsafe path will help a child grow up healthier and happier.  Sometimes a parent does not know the signs or does not know the paths for proper help, and PerformCare helps parents with both.  PerformCare is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Their services are individual and unique to each particular case.
