About Westlund Guidance Clinic – Saginaw
The Westlund Guidance Clinic is located in Saginaw, Michigan, and treats individuals ages three and older for substance misuse conditions, mental health disorders, issues adjusting to divorce and family conflicts. They aim to help individuals, families, couples, and groups to recover and improve their overall well-being and health. Their clinicians are at the master’s level and have years of experience treating these conditions.
They have a children’s case management program that is intended to make a child feel safer and more comfortable in their environment. This includes helping them deal with any emotional or behavioral issues they may be having or even emotional issues that are coming from an external source. They want to give your child the confidence to make lasting change and be happier on a daily basis.
They offer a unique school based mental health program that is specifically designed for the Saginaw Public School District. However, they do offer these services to a few other school districts as well including Birch Run School District, Carrollton School District, and Chesaning School District.
They want to address important mental health needs that can help improve their academic progress and behavioral well-being. They have licensed mental health therapists who provide several intervention options including individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy and others that offer a holistic approach to their success. Parental consent is needed but they also use a collaborative referral method that lets school staff members recommend students for enrollment. Students can also individually reach out to the school therapist if they feel the program can help them.
