INTENSIVE IN-HOME MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES – FOCUS and WRAPAROUND (AGES 3 – 18)


These services are targeted to serve severely emotionally challenged, high-need children and their families through intensive home-based therapeutic services. The programs utilize a collaborative team process to bring together the formal and informal networks of community services that are available to support the child and family. Services address the child’s social functioning needs by working collaboratively with parents, schools, social and mental health services, along with other community resources. In addition to the goal of strengthening families and preventing out-of-home placements where possible, the programs strive to ensure the child’s success in school and to reduce his or her involvement in the juvenile justice system.
These programs use teams specially trained in research-based models for effective interventions with foster children (Multidimensional Treatment Foster Support) and children with challenging behaviors in the community (Multi-Systemic Therapy).
