Narrative

In-Home Therapy

In-Home Therapy helps children and youth with significant mental health needs function successfully, while helping their families best manage and support their children’s needs at home and in the community. In-Home Therapy is an intensive service meeting at least twice each week. It involves both the child, parents(s)/guardian(s), and other relevant family members.

In-Home Behavioral Services

In-Home Behavioral Services are for children, youth, and their families who need help learning to change and manage difficult or harmful behaviors. Our staff helps youth and parents in creating a behavior management plan that will work for them. In-Home Behavioral Services are an intensive service, meeting with the child and their parent(s)/guardian(s) at least twice each week.

Therapeutic Mentoring 

Therapeutic Mentors support children and teens in navigating a range of challenges including getting along with others, problem solving, and building age-appropriate community connections. Therapeutic Mentors work in the home, community, school, and other social settings to teach your child skills that foster successful social interactions and relationships. To be eligible for Therapeutic Mentoring, a child must also receive Outpatient Therapy, In-Home Therapy, or Intensive Care Coordination.
