The Alexander
Difference
Passionate About Helping Children
The Whole Solution for Children’s Mental Health
Alexander Youth Network is passionate about helping children overcome their mental health challenges. We believe an integrated treatment approach to mental health is the best way to address children’s needs. The Alexander Model of Care provides mental health programs and services from least to most intensive to meet children where they are and help them heal.
Our Mission
To provide quality professional treatment to children with serious emotional and behavioral problems and to deliver an effective and efficient array of services, enabling children and their families to exercise self-determination, achieve their potential, and become positive contributors to society.
Without a
service array
Without a service array children are moved repeatedly to get the treatment they need. Relationships become fragmented and treatment becomes difficult.
With a
service array
With a service array relationships have a chance to stay intact, positive changes take root and children learn new patterns, behaviors, and improve faster with lasting results.

Testimonials
"The thing I love about working with the team at Alexander is that they are always so helpful, and they never say "No" or "I can't" when you need answers to a question."

"I've just returned from a custody hearing related to a young client, whose attorney and custody advocate I represent. The whole organization did a great job with this child in the Day Treatment Program at Alexander. This child has a shot, a chance, because of the efforts of the Alexander Youth Network staff!"

"The most helpful thing about the services we received at Alexander was that they didn't give up on my child. Everyone worked as a team and before any decisions were made about my child’s treatment, I was asked for my input."
