The LIFE Project
The LIFE Project identifies high-risk children and, along with their families,
develops and implements a plan for mental health services and service
alternatives within their community. Referrals can be initiated by parents;
Service Coordination Units; hospitals; Allegheny County Children, Youth and
Families (ACCYF); or other child serving agencies.
The LIFE Project provides individualized service coordination for
children/adolescents, and their families, from ages 3 -21 who require intensive
behavioral health treatment in the least restrictive community environment.
Utilizing a multi-systems approach, the LIFE service coordinator plans,
implements and coordinates structured services focused on specialized service
coordination, intensive behavioral health treatment and advocacy. The LIFE Project
monitors all services to ensure that child and family needs are met; and will
also be available to assist clients and their families in accessing resources
within the client's home, school and community.
