ChildSTEPS
Because Kennebec Behavioral Health has been chosen to be part of a study of caring for children who are in state care or are adopted, you can choose to participate in ChildSTEPS. The study will involve the implementation of a new combination of therapy treatments termed MATCH for “Modular Approach to Treatment with Children.”
This study will help us know the best way to treat children with anxiety, depression, and conduct problems. We know that these are problems that post-adoptive families can have questions about and sometimes need professional help to tackle.
You can sign up for this treatment by filling out and sending us the MATCH form linked below. Someone from our office will then follow up with you.
