Our Mission

In response to the global and community mental health crisis for children and youth, Link House, Inc. launched the Children And Teen Center for Help (CATCH) in November 2022. The program seeks to empower and support children, teens, and their families to understand and nurture their mental well-being. Your child’s mental well-being is the cornerstone of our creation.

Who We Serve

CATCH is for children and teens ages 5 to 18 struggling with anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, trauma, substance use disorder, and co-occurring mental health disorders. The family-focused program enables children and teens to handle the daily challenges of their lives, while equipping families with tools and insight to help children and teens thrive. Our professional, multidisciplinary team includes a licensed educational psychologist, a licensed independent clinical social worker, three masters-level clinicians including a part-time nurse practitioner, a consulting psychiatrist, and executives with expertise in behavioral health. All are experienced in addressing the complex needs of young people who have experienced trauma, are LGBTQ+, or are at risk for other reasons. 

Learn about our new program to empower and support children, teens, and their families to understand and nurture their mental well-being.
