Children's
Assessment Program
|
Ben-El provides a children’s
assessment program to help understand behavioral and emotional difficulties.
Many parents experience a range of thoughts and feelings when deciding
to seek professional help for a child. Feelings of confusion, frustration
and guilt are common. It is helpful to organize thoughts and concerns
in writing ahead of time. Typically concerns reflect problems with
behavioral, emotional, family, school, or social adjustment. |

program for parents with children and adolescents. Each program consists
of four sessions centered around: Child Development, Parenting
Techniques, Coping Skills, Stress Management and Community Resources.
In-home family coaching is available for those families who need
additional support. This program is made possible by a grant from
the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund. The program does not necessarily
