Mission Statement

ACTS has a mission to empower, elevate, and educate male youth with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) to overcome development roadblocks—including toxic stress—and we have the wherewithal to accomplish it. We understand that (SED) involves a tendency toward aggressive behavior, which often interferes with or limits their ability to function in family, school, or community settings. ACTS is a day center for students displaced to a home-bound and half-day schedule. Our focused-therapeutic structure entails

• Family-inclusive therapy

• Educational workshops

• Individualized strength-based interventions
