 Programs

Through different programs and seminars, Damous Psychological Services offers effective tools and methods for parents and children to utilize.  Our variety of topics ensures that you can find a session that pertains to the specific challenges or difficulties you are faced with.

Effective Behavior Management & Parent Training

We offer effective ways for reducing classroom disruption and other behavioral issues.  Simply participate in one of our behavior management or parent training programs to learn tips for managing behavioral problems effectively.  In some cases, intensive outpatient services may be required.  A more intensive program than traditional outpatient care may prove more effective for more difficult cases.

Plans for Home & School

Parents of children with emotional and behavioral disorders face many challenges, including disruptions in the classroom and at home. Our programs are designed to give you tools for managing problematic behaviors at home and at school effectively. For your convenience, we can provide recommendations for your request of a SAT, Eligibility, or IEP/Section 504 plan from your child's school to ensure your child receives the care he or she needs.

Community Seminars

Dealing with your child's behavioral disorder alone can cause you to feel stressed and angry.  This, in turn, often causes children to act out even more, causing more stress and anger.  We offer community parent training seminars to give you and other parents tips for managing your child's behaviors.  All programs include weekly presentations outlining the tools to use for more effective behavior management at home.

Additional seminars for parents, schools, and organizations:

  • Social skills training

  • Building and maintaining self-esteem

  • Understanding Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • Understanding and managing child and adolescent emotional and behavioral disorders

  • Understanding learning and related disorders

  • Bullying

The Damous Center is located in South Charleston, WV; right across the street from our main office. For your convenience, more information on the Damous Center can be found here.
