ABOUT US
The SABH mission of strengthening individuals and supporting families is critical to the resilience of adolescent community members who are coping with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the many challenges it uncovered or exacerbated. This new service line will be grounded in the principles of trauma-informed care, cultural humility, whole-person health, and family-driven approaches to treatment. As an overarching framework, the SABH IOP is guided by the Children, Youth, and Families System of Care Framework.
SABH is launching this innovative program in partnership with Parkland Health and Parkland Health Foundation.
