Our Services
Meyer EFS offers a variety of services for your family and your child. We emphasize not only offering or locating the appropriate type of assistance, but locating the best option for your child within that category. We spend at least 25% of our time touring programs, schools and in the field in order to make the right fit between families and programs the first time.

We have a thorough understanding of family systems and social dynamics and have compassionate and direct communication with families in crisis. If crisis intervention becomes necessary, we will support the family by coordinating the intervention and with appropriate program options for treatment and recovery. We respond to urgent situations seven days a week and the turnaround for placement can be almost immediate.
