Outpatient Services
Weber Human Services provides outpatient treatment to children eligible for Medicaid between the ages of 0 through 18 and their families. Interventions include individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and medication management services.

Case Management
Case management is a method of helping children and their families coordinate and connect with valuable resources; assess and develop a service plan; monitor service provision; and advocate for child and family rights.

Family Support/Respite Care
Respite care and family support gives families of children with at risk behaviors the break that all parents need from the demands of raising a family. Short term in-home and out of home services are available.
