We provide the following services:
Intensive In-Community Services are flexible, multi-purpose, in-home/community clinical support for parents/caregivers/guardians and children/youth with behavioral and emotional disturbances. The purpose of these interventions is to strengthen the family, to provide family stability and to preserve the family constellation in the community setting. These services are flexible both as to where and when they are provided based on the family’s needs. They may be provided as a component of a longer-term treatment intervention. This family-driven treatment is based on targeted needs as identified in individualized treatment plan. The treatment plan includes specific intervention(s) with target dates for accomplishment of goals that focus on the restorative functioning of the child/youth with the intention of:
- Stabilizing the child/youth’s behavior(s) that led to the crisis,
- Preventing/reducing the need for inpatient hospitalization,
- Preventing the movement of the child/youth’s residence,
- Preventing the need for out-of-home living arrangements.
Intensive In-Community Services encompass a broad array of interventions ranging from clinical therapy, allied behavioral therapies and modalities, to behavioral skills training and counseling services. Services may include assistance with addressing basic needs as well as a comprehensive integrated program of clinical rehabilitation services to support improved behavioral, social, educational and vocational functioning. In general, intensive in-community interventions will provide children/youth and their caregivers with services such as psycho-social education (including skills for the caregivers to effectively manage the child’s/youth’s behavioral and emotional challenges), negotiation and conflict resolution skill training, effective coping skills, stress management, self-care, and symptom/medication management. These interventions will develop or build on skills that will enhance the child’s/youth’s education and potential employability.
