Summary Description :

Our Children and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS) are designed to better meet the behavioral health needs at earlier junctures in a child / youth’s life to prevent the onset or progression of behavioral health conditions. These mobile services are provided in the home and community and aim to prevent the need for more restrictive and higher intensity services for children and youth. Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) services are designed to restore, rehabilitate, and support a child’s / youth’s developmentally appropriate functioning as necessary for the integration of the child / youth as an active and productive member of their family and community with the goal of achieving minimal on-going professional intervention. Activities are “hands on” and task oriented, intended to achieve the identified goals or objectives as set forth in the child / youth’s individualized treatment plan. These services must include assisting the child / youth to develop and apply skills in natural settings. PSR is intended to foster and promote the development of needed skills identified in assessment or through the ongoing treatment of a licensed practitioner. Services are delivered in a trauma informed, culturally and linguistically competent manner.
