Open House Will Be Held for New Child Assessment
And Treatment Center for Health

The Alexandria Community Services Board, the Health Department, and the Department of Human Services will hold an open house from 3 to 6 pm on Thursday, April 27, for the new Child Assessment and Treatment Center for Health (CATCH). The center will provide services to children –newborn to 5 years old– who are victims of or at risk for child abuse and neglect.

CATCH will offer a collaborative integration of services that will address the mental health, medical, dental, developmental, and social service needs as an additional component in the continuum of care for abused and neglected children in the community.

For more information on the open house and program, call Peggy Stypula, CATCH Coordinator, at 703.838.4708, extension 339.
