“WE WORRY ABOUT WHAT A CHILD WILL BECOME TOMORROW, YET WE FORGET THEY ARE SOMEONE TODAY.”

Ray of Hope & Life is in partnership with Allied Counseling & Rehab Services. We work together to help children in our surrounding communities by administering the Texas Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) Comprehensive Assessment 1.0 & 2.0. In addition to interactions with the children and their caregivers, this integration tool allows us to design an individual treatment plan for each child. This guiding tool helps us utilize the child's strengths while improving their areas of weakness. The areas of need may be attention-deficit/hyperactivity, oppositional defiance, anger management, social anxiety, general anxiety, communication skills, positive behavioral needs, impulse control, self-responsibility, and many others. We understand that these needs affect everyday life functions, including family, peer, school, and community settings.
