How is a child admitted to the Child Study and Treatment Center?
Families cannot admit a child directly. If a child needs inpatient mental health services, he/she will be referred from the Children’s Long Term In-Patient (CLIP) committee, following authorization by the Regional Support Network (RSN) that serves the county in which the legal guardian resides. Some children are committed to Child Study and Treatment Center through a court order by the Juvenile Justice system. These children are admitted for evaluation to determine competency in criminal matters.
