outpatient counseling
Outpatient counseling helps individuals and families address the effects of trauma, improve stress management skills, and reduce or eliminate the need for psychiatric hospitalization.

Campus-Based Living
The youth living on Cornerstones of Care’s Ozanam Campus receive trauma-responsive residential support to improve safety, behavior, and aid in healing from trauma. Everyone served on our campus comes with many strengths and talents but also histories of abuse, neglect, domestic and community violence, and psychiatric hospitalizations. These experiences can cause attachment difficulties, cognitive impairments, and emotional and behavioral challenges that can lead to unsafe behavior in home, school, and community settings. On-campus living provides a safe, structured, supervised living environment with a variety of treatment programs to address these challenges.
