Overview:

Our time-limited intensive in-home services are specifically designed to support children between the ages of 5 and 21 within the familiar setting of their residence. Our primary goal is to facilitate a nurturing and stable environment, ultimately decreasing the likelihood of out-of-home placement.

Designed to:

• Improve family dynamics through modeling and enhanced interpersonal relations among family members at home.
• Provide specialized clinical interventions to improve overall functioning and well-being.

Eligibility Criteria:

Individuals qualifying for in-home counseling must demonstrate a clinical necessity arising from mental, behavioral, or emotional illness resulting in significant impairments in major life activities. The diagnosis must be the primary clinical issue addressed by the services and meet the following criteria:

Meet One: The diagnosis should support the mental, behavioral, or emotional illness leading to recent significant functional impairments in major life activities.

At-Risk Criteria:

The member must meet one or more of the following conditions:

• Difficulty in establishing or maintaining normal interpersonal relationships, leading to risks of hospitalization or out-of-home placement due to conflicts with family or community.
• Displaying repeated inappropriate behavior necessitating interventions from mental health, social services, or the judicial system, resulting in a risk for out-of-home placement.
• Demonstrating challenges in cognitive ability, leading to an inability to recognize personal danger or exhibit significantly inappropriate social behavior, resulting in a risk for out-of-home placement.

Family Involvement:

For the success of our intensive in-home counseling services, at least one parent/legal guardian or responsible adult living with the child must actively participate in the therapy sessions with the goal of keeping the child within the family. A responsible adult is defined as someone living in the same household and engaging in therapy and service-related activities for the benefit of the child.

Service Frequency:

Families can expect sessions two to three times a week as part of our intensive in-home services. Additionally, we schedule outpatient family sessions with a Licensed Professional counselor type once a month and family therapy sessions once a month required. Our regular sessions are strategically planned to ensure consistent support and meaningful progress, allowing for a nurturing and effective therapeutic process.
