The CCS Family Behavioral Health office in Olympia serves children and families in their homes and communities in Thurston, Mason, Grays Harbor, and Lewis Counties. In our work with kids, families and communities our priorities include:
Family Voice and Choice
The family is the center of the services we provide, and we work hard to ensure that the family’s voice is heard. Individuals who have experienced recovery from substance abuse, mental health concerns, and family problems are employed by CCS to help current client families navigate “the system”.
Team Based
When other professionals are involved with kids and families, CCS workers engage them to create plans that help families in a variety of ways.
Involvement of natural supports
CCS works to strengthen connections between kids and their extended families and friends.
Collaboration
We work as a team with other supports, such as schools, churches, doctors and family members, to ensure that needs are met.
Community-based
We believe that children, even those with high needs, do best in their communities when safety can be assured. We work with our families and partners to come up with innovative and creative ways to help kids and families remain safe and together.
Culturally competent
We strive to provide services that take into consideration the uniqueness of every child and family.
Individualized
Services are specific to the child and family.
Strengths-based
It’s easy to talk about what’s going wrong, but it’s just as important to see what’s going right! We base service goals on existing strengths in children and families, and believe that building on strengths can help to solve problems.
Unconditional
We are there for the child and family, no matter what. We never give up.
Outcome-based
Our services are planned to meet specific goals.
Accessible
We provide services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and are available when we’re needed. We provide services in homes and communities – in places most comfortable for kids and families.
What We Do
Wraparound with Intensive Services
Wraparound is a consumer driven, community-based alternative to hospitalization and more restrictive care. It is not a set of “services” but a philosophy and team-based process driven by family voice. The process of Wraparound features team-based assessment, planning, action, and evaluation.
Behavioral Rehabilitation Services

In-home Behavioral Rehabilitation Services
