Children's Services Overview Children's Services Overview

Welcome to children’s services at MFS, where we inspire hope for children to lead healthy, productive lives.


Often, it’s hard to know why a child is consistently unhappy, angry, aggressive, or anxious or why a child persistently behaves in ways that are just not acceptable. If your child is having emotional or behavioral difficulties, we can help. Our licensed counselors specialize in working with children. They understand not only how to communicate with a child, but also how children perceive the world around them and the kinds of issues that can worry or confuse them. We will meet your child “where the child is” and help the child – and you – to overcome the concerns that have brought you to us.

“It has been such a gift to check in with my son’s therapist to be sure he is doing OK.  He is able to get along better at school and handle things at home, thanks to coping skills he has developed through working with MFS.  I know that having this resource will make a big difference in his life.” -- parent of a child receiving treatment at MFS

Client Success Story

Reuniting Mother and Son

Michael was assigned to Melanie Diehl as he coped with severe depression. For years he had lived with his mother who fell where they lived in 2009 and was hospitalized. When Melanie began working with Michael, he was paralyzed with fear that he’d never go back to living with his mother.

Finding a Home for Kay

Kay was dealing with depression and was homeless when Melanie Diehl, her caseworker at Monadnock Family Services, entered her life. Kay was “skittish” at her first meeting with Melanie, but she soon discovered she had an ally in her efforts to right her life.
