- Trauma or loss,
- Behavior difficulties,
- Eating disorders, and/or
- Family relationship issues.
Services offered to children by Creative Health staff are:
- Child Centered as they meet the individual needs of the child, considers the child’s and family’s situation, are developmentally appropriate, strength based and child specific.

- Community Based as both formal and informal resources are accessed in order to promote the child’s successful participation in the community.
- Multi-Systemic as they are planned in collaboration with all child-serving systems involved with the child’s life.
- Culturally Competent as the behavior, attitudes, values, beliefs, customs, language, rituals, ceremonies and practices of the child’s ethnic group are recognized and respected.
