THE ORGANIZATION
CCRES Educational and Behavioral Health Services was created in 1999 as an independent IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization through a partnership with the Chester County Intermediate Unit to meet the growing need for reliable, professional, educational and behavioral health staff for children in the county, and as a vehicle to give back to the community. CCRES has grown and now provides vital support for children, adolescents, families, and adults with a range of exceptionalities, including autism, behavioral health concerns, mental illness, as well as intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. CCRES also provides a variety of experienced school administrators to educational agencies throughout the region. Using a team approach, CCRES works in collaboration with school districts, intermediate units, and other programs serving children and adults with specialized needs. CCRES has grown over the years to provide services in Berks, Bucks, Cumberland, Montgomery, Delaware, Lebanon, and Lancaster Counties.
In addition to providing educational and behavioral health staff, CCRES supports programs that directly benefit individuals and their families by providing grants to nonprofits throughout the service territory. CCRES is a nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors comprised of leaders in education and business.
