Multidisciplinary Team
Our team actively involves parents and families, and we collaborate with community agencies and programs. The CIS has a strong commitment to training medical students, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, counselors, early childhood providers and educators through practicums, coursework and workforce development efforts.
Person and Family Centered Care
The CIS views person- and family-centered care as a collaborative approach to prevention and treatment services, highlighting the importance of a child and the involvement of families in their care. We view the patient and family as equal partners, and we highlight each person’s strengths in our personalized support and treatment plans.
In order to grow, we believe patients and families need a supportive and healthy environment.
