This program teaches kids to solve problems creatively and develop other essential life skills. Offers structured one-to-one, strength-based support services to youth (under 21) to address daily living, social, and communication needs. What services are provided?

Therapeutic Mentoring services include:

• Coaching, supporting and training the youth in age-appropriate behaviors

• Relating appropriately to other children, adolescents, and adults, in recreational and social activities pursuant to a behavioral-health treatment plan developed by an outpatient, or In-Home Therapy provider in concert with the family, and youth whenever possible, or pursuant to an Individual Care Plan (ICP) for youth with Intensive Care Coordination (ICC).
