We Help Our Youth....
....With Individualized Services....
Families that find themselves in crisis are usually coping with a multitude of issues. We feel that the only way to provide effective treatment is to ensure that treatment is specific to the needs of each family. We feel it is not enough to develop generic goals for treatment based only on a mental health diagnosis. That is why all cases are staffed with a Clinical Supervisor weekly and any time a crisis arises.
....With Home and Community Support....
—Although services are based in the home, we believe that treatment must occur where needed. We work to develop improved socialization skills through providing opportunities to utilize and monitor techniques that are taught.
....With School Based Support....
—Intensive-In-Home Services will support these efforts by conducting school visits. —Monitoring educational progress to include attending IEP and Child Study meetings—. Monitoring behavioral issues and working to develop the necessary skills to eliminate those issues—. Acting as an advocate and liaison between the school and parent.— Counselors will meet with School Truancy Officers to regularly monitor attendance in an effort to prevent failure to comply issues. Although we seek to assist all students, we feel early intervention is most effective. Truancy issues at the elementary level may be reduced or halted by providing support to the parent.
