Umbrellex 2 stands as a dedicated branch within Umbrellex® Behavioral Health Services, providing a comprehensive and person-centered approach to mental health and wellness for individuals, families, and the wider community. The organization drives its mission forward by fostering mental health as an essential facet of overall well-being, with a distinct commitment to prevention, intervention, treatment, and education. Umbrellex 2 places a strong emphasis on the quality of care, aiming to deliver compassionate, respectful, and empowering support that recognizes the unique needs of each individual.
The spectrum of services offered at Umbrellex 2 is vast, guided by a highly skilled team with knowledge and experience in trauma-informed clinical care, psychological trauma, crisis intervention, substance abuse, and specialized education services. Comprehensive behavioral health evaluations and assessments are central to the process, enabling the team to observe, record, and report on each individual's functioning with acute attention to detail. This informs the development of personalized treatment plans that may include individual therapy, group therapy, and specialized classes or sessions designed to teach essential coping skills, emotional and behavioral regulation, anger management, impulse control, and conflict resolution. The approach involves ongoing interactive discussions, meaningful written assessments, and guided "homework" assignments, all intended to create positive change and equip individuals with techniques to address everyday life challenges.
Umbrellex 2’s therapeutic model is inclusive of children, adolescents, teenagers, adults, and families dealing with a variety of concerns, from ADHD and learning difficulties to autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and issues related to family dynamics such as adoption, divorce, or blending of families. The care home offers court-approved programs addressing substance or alcohol abuse, domestic violence, anger management, parenting skills, and conflict resolution, recognizing the importance of tailored interventions for those navigating significant personal or legal challenges.
Support at Umbrellex 2 extends to providing specialized residential services for male and female adults who are developmentally impaired or diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness and who require a secured, structured environment. The team is adept at meeting the evolving needs and aspirations of people with disabilities and works closely with families, fostering open communication and active participation. This collaborative partnership ensures that daily activities are shaped according to the interests and goals of the individuals served. These may encompass a wide array of options intended to promote independence, social connection, and integration into the community.
Community living services are facilitated in partnership with community mental health agencies, focusing on enabling individuals to attain or maintain their maximum potential. The in-house curriculum encompasses training in activities of daily living, such as personal hygiene, household chores, and socialization, while also nurturing vital communication and relationship-building skills. These supports reinforce existing skills from school, therapy, or other life settings, consolidating a foundation for greater self-sufficiency and engagement.
Umbrellex 2 is also notable for its high-quality in-home respite care services, which enable individuals to remain in their familiar environment. The staff includes Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Personal Care Providers (PCPs), whose responsibilities range from assisting with dressing, bathing, feeding, and toileting, to providing companionship and recreational activities. This respite care is both flexible and adaptable, shaped by the specific needs of each person and their family caregivers.
Furthermore, Umbrellex 2’s multidisciplinary professionals offer extensive support for children in need of special education and related services. The team conducts thorough evaluations to identify learning, cognitive, or physical disabilities that may impact a child's educational performance, interpreting data from a range of sources—including specialized tests, parental input, teacher recommendations, and adaptive behavior assessments. This careful and individualized approach ensures that each child’s educational pathway is optimally aligned with their needs.
Guided by a philosophy rooted in person-centered planning and evidence-based practice, Umbrellex 2 is steadfast in supporting individuals through crisis, trauma, and developmental disability. The team works alongside each person in outlining their needs, wishes, and goals, ensuring that life planning is as individualized and meaningful as possible.
