SecurePath

Mental health assessments and interventions for young children are sometimes provided best in the child's home or school setting. SecurePath is a comprehensive mental health service for young children in Wake County provided at the child's home or preschool.  Our staff offers mental health assessments, interventions, and therapy for children ages birth to five and their parents who need help with their child's social, emotional, or developmental challenges.  Services are provided in English and Spanish.

Some examples of concerns that we can help with include:

  • Behavior and discipline challenges
  • Impulsivity, inattention, and aggression
  • Fears, anxieties, and behavior rituals
  • Mood problems
  • Social isolation and peer conflicts
  • Reactions to trauma and loss
  • Complications of adoption
  • Arrangements and reactions to divorce
  • Parenting questions, including sleep and toileting issues

The Lucy Daniels Center provides SecurePath in conjunction with Wake County SmartStart's initiative to ensure that emotionally at-risk young children with special needs have early intervention services to better prepare them for success in school and life.  Services are provide free-of-charge to children age five and younger, who have not yet started kindergarten.  SecurePath focuses it resources on children and families who do not have insurance coverage or are receiving Medicaid.
