Maternal Depression

Pregnancy and the postpartum period can be both meaningful and overwhelming, often bringing a wide range of emotions. Approximately 10–15 percent of women experience depression during pregnancy or within the first year after childbirth. When left untreated, maternal depression can become chronic and may also affect a child’s long-term emotional and developmental well-being.

Our services support moms-to-be and new mothers who may be experiencing symptoms of stress, anxiety, or depression. We provide a range of treatment options delivered by licensed clinicians with specialized expertise in maternal mental health.

Treatment focuses on building coping strategies, strengthening emotional well-being, managing family stressors, and connecting women with community resources and supports.

Meet Our Summit Providers

Bellefaire JCB extends our care beyond our campus through a range of in-home family therapy programs designed to help children, youth, and families overcome challenges, build resilience, and strengthen relationships.

We believe children experience the greatest success when treatment takes place in their everyday environment, where parents, siblings, caregivers, and other important members of their support system can actively participate in the healing process. By meeting families where they are, our experienced clinicians provide personalized, evidence-based services that promote lasting change and help families thrive together.

In Home Family Therapy Service Options:

Intensive Home Based Treatment 

Intensive Home Based Treatment services are provided to children, youth, and families who need a higher level of support to address emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges. The program is designed to help families stabilize and strengthen functioning within the home and community.

Families typically participate in the program for three to six months, receiving three to six hours of service per week. As progress is made, services are gradually stepped down to less intensive outpatient care in the community.

Intensive Home Based Treatment uses a multisystem, wraparound approach that supports the whole family. Treatment focuses on strengthening relationships, improving communication, and developing practical strategies to address challenges. Interventions may include cognitive behavioral therapy, family preservation services, and coordinated care planning.

The counselor works closely with the family and collaborates with other involved systems, including schools, courts, therapists, and other community providers, to ensure coordinated and effective care.

Services include:

• In-home assessment and treatment
• Individual and family therapy
• Coordination with schools, courts, and providers
• Ongoing consultation and progress monitoring
• Transition and aftercare planning

Functional Family Therapy

Functional Family Therapy is an Intensive Home-Based Treatment service that provides in-home therapy for families with youth ages 10–18 who are at risk of out-of-home placement due to mental health and/or behavioral concerns.

Services are delivered directly in the home environment, allowing clinicians to engage families in their natural setting and address challenges in real time. Functional Family Therapy is an evidence-based practice supported by extensive research demonstrating both short- and long-term positive outcomes for youth and families.

The model focuses on strengthening family relationships, improving communication, and developing practical strategies to reduce risk factors and support lasting change.

Our behavioral health group programs provide children, adolescents, and families with opportunities to build skills, strengthen relationships, and work through challenges alongside others who may be experiencing similar concerns. Services include Child and Adolescent Group programs, offering different levels of support based on each young person’s needs.

Child and Adolescent Group Services

Bellefaire JCB’s Child and Adolescent Group Services provide structured, evidence-based group treatment facilitated by credentialed clinicians with specialized training and experience in child and family counseling.

Children and adolescents referred to the program must meet defined clinical criteria and demonstrate the ability to participate in a group setting.

• Distress tolerance skills and coping strategies
• Mindfulness and impulse control skills
• Emotion identification and regulation

• Anger management
• Self-esteem development

Level Up is an outreach initiative supported through the Ohio Healthy Transitions program to improve access to treatment and support services for youth and young adults, ages 16-25, with a qualifying mental health diagnosis.

Once enrolled in the program, youth are paired with a Navigator who works with them to determine what services are needed and where the services are found. The Navigator will assist in transitioning from youth systems to adult systems to avoid gaps in services.
