VCSS Shasta FICS
(Family Intervention and Community Support)


Located in the beautiful, recreation-rich Northern Sacramento valley, VCSS/Shasta FICS is a community-based mental health treatment program which contracts its services to Northern Counties and other organizations serving severely emotionally disturbed and developmentally delayed children and their families. Shasta FICS works in partnership with these agencies to improve quality of life, build individual and family strengths, and prevent family disruptions and out-of-home placements that could result from untreated mental and emotional problems.

 

 

 

   

Our programs include:

Community-Based Mental Health Services

This program provides a continuum of home-based services designed to achieve the following goals:

• Mental health assessments of children referred to our services
• Avoidance of hospitalization
• Retention of current placement and prevention, where possible, of having to move a child to a higher level of care
• Transition of children from higher levels of care to lower levels of care, e.g. hospital, group home, foster home, biological or adoptive home
• Treating mental health issues which cause disruption in personal and family life
• Assisting families in developing their strengths, locating and using available resources, and developing constructive patterns of interaction

These goals are achieved through cooperative efforts with our community partners,
rapid response, crisis intervention, ongoing counseling, education, and referral.

School-Based Mental Health Services

Clinicians are based in public schools to provide individual, group, and family therapy to children and their families. Other services available through these staff are crisis intervention, case management, teacher education and training, and consultation to other professionals and involved parties in both school and home settings.

Therapeutic Behavioral Services

Shasta FICS staff provides a 1:1 relationship with a child through a state-mandated entitlement program. Within this program providing behavior management, skills training, anger management, parenting skill development and collaboration with other clinical resources facilitates family use of other available services and empowers parents to regain control of the family situation.

Far Northern Regional Center Wraparound Services

Not to be confused with SB 163 Wraparound Programs, this program has as its goal to keep developmentally delayed children in their homes. Through frequent, intensive in-home interventions with children and their families, staff provides behavioral training for the child, specific skills training for parents, and strategies designed to facilitate development and environmental changes which result in greater safety and a better quality of daily life.

VCSS/Shasta FICS

works in close collaboration with Shasta County’s Departments of Mental Health, Child and Family Services, Probation, and School Districts to develop a broad continuum of community treatment services. These services have demonstrated successful outcomes, and have enabled many children to live successfully with their families in society. As an agency, we are highly committed to work with our community partners in developing whatever services are needed to enable children and their families to develop the strengths and resources they need to thrive in the communities in which they live.
