Behavioral & Physical Health Integration Program

Children’s Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC) integrates behavioral health services within two of Delaware Valley Community Health’s (DVCH) pediatric health clinics.

The program offers a continuum of bilingual prevention, treatment, and support services to children and their families at DVCH’s Maria De Los Santos and Norristown Regional Health Center.

Primary Program Goals:

  • Promote full integration and collaboration in clinical practice between primary and behavioral healthcare.
  • Support the improvement of integrated care models for primary care and behavioral health care, to improve the overall wellness and physical health status of children presenting with behavioral health challenges.
  • Promote and offer integrated care services related to screening, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental health challenges, and co-occurring physical health conditions.
