What is Chic (chique) Behavioral Health and Community Services?

Chic (chique) Behavioral Health and Community Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth organization dedicated to providing wrap around services and resources to youth and their families. Chic utilizes a trauma-informed care approach and a prosocial approach to serve our community. We realize the widespread impact of trauma and understand potential paths for recovery. We recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system. We are responding by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and seek to actively resist re-traumatization. We utilize a prosocial approach to offer natural ways to learn, practice, and strengthen life and social skills. These essential skills can boost mood and overall mental health and well-being. Prosocial activities can also have positive implications on self-esteem, the ability to collaborate, problem solve, build empathy toward self/others, and resilience.
