COSHOCTON – Coshocton Behavioral
Health Choices has expanded its ser-
vices to help those of all ages.
“For a long time we just did sub-
stance abuse counseling and pri-
marily served teens and adults,”
said Jeanette Hall, director of family
prevention services. “Now we offer
services for kids and mental health
counseling.”
As part of this expansion they
opened up a new wing of their build-
ing called the Flight School where
services are offered to parents and
children.
“There are reasons behind issues
and why children act out,” Hall said.
“If you have behavior concerns you
don’t have to go to a big city for help.
There are services offered right here in
our community.”
The staff also started two new
programs for parents that are free to
clients and the general public.
Moms Club is offered every Friday
from 10 to 11 a.m. for pregnant women
and moms with babies 0-6 months old
and from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. for moms
with babies 6 months to 2-years-
old. Both groups meet at Coshocton
