Beverly Continuum Support is a 24/7 intensive treatment residence for adolescents experiencing behavioral issues and diagnosed with serious emotional disturbance, learning disabilities and/or co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses.
Beverly Continuum Support provides a safe, highly structured, and therapeutic environment that meets each youth’s unique and individualized treatment needs. Our highly skilled and well-trained staff support youth in the development of effective coping and self-regulation skills. Our master-level clinicians provide comprehensive assessments, highly individualized treatment planning, and individual, group, and family therapy. Youth attend school and/or vocational programs in the community, hold jobs, and remain involved in their home communities. We partner with community health and human service providers and primary, secondary, and higher education and vocational programs to meet youth and family’s needs across all life domains.
BCS is a home. Our kids know that we care and are here for them no matter what is going on. We show up!
Staff member Katie
We help youth experiencing behavioral and mental health issues, helping them develop the life skills, coping skills, and self-regulation to develop healthy and long-lasting relationships with their families and communities. We recognize that many of the young people we work with have experienced complex trauma. Many need specialized care related to gender identity, sexual orientation, adoption, immigration status, and substance use. We pride ourselves in meeting youth where they are at, providing them with the best care to suit their individual needs. Additionally, we work closely with families and caregivers, enhancing their knowledge with consistent and supportive validated approaches. Clinical work with caregivers focuses on depersonalizing youth behaviors, validating caregivers’ responses, and improving their ability to understand and appropriately manage their affect, resulting in stability, consistency, and permanency for youth.
