Behavioral Health

Vinfen’s Behavioral Health Division provides prevention, intervention, and treatment services in the areas of mental health and substance abuse for adults, families and children.

Treatment is individualized culturally sensitive, and may include ongoing clinical care and support in both traditional and nontraditional settings.

A full range of outpatient services is provided at our licensed mental health clinic in Roxbury, Mass., including individual, group, and family counseling; case consultation; psychiatric assessments; and medication evaluation.

Our clinicians work closely with public and private hospitals, community mental health centers, and public schools.

A People Care Clinic outreach site is available in Lawrence.

Positive School Climate Initiative

SCCAT provides violence prevention and leadership development training to children in the Boston public school system. By using Committee for Children’s award winning Second Step Violence Prevention Curriculum, SCCAT, in partnership with classroom teachers, helps children learn to make positive and effective choices, resolve disputes, and collaborate with each other. These social and emotional skills are fundamental building blocks that lead to a child’s academic success because they facilitate a positive and safe school climate.

In February 2008, Vinfen’s Behavioral Health Division relocated its People Care Clinic and School Community Consultation and Treatment (SCCAT) program office to a new outpatient facility. This new shared site enables Vinfen to expand its services to children, adolescents, adults and families in the greater Boston area.
