Specialized Services

Family Vision - Wraparound

The Wraparound Program is a family centered, community-oriented, strengths-based, highly individualized planning process aimed at helping people (youth) meet their unmet needs both within and outside of formal human services systems, while they remain in their neighborhood and homes, whenever possible.  The Wraparound process is best described as people helping people and this is most effective when the family members are involved in deciding what is needed to make their lives better. The Wraparound Team works closely with community partners, CFS, Probation and DBH in an effort to assist families in meeting any identified unmet need.

Success First (Early Wraparound)

Success First is an "early wraparound" program whose mission is to provide family-centered, strengths-based, needs-driven services to maintain at-risk children from birth to age 15 y/o in family settings, in schools and in their communities. Services target children and youth identified as unserved and underserved and provide short term services designed to stabilize children and their families for successful transition to longer term resources for on-going progress and support. The Success First program utilizes a "whatever it takes" philosophy of treatment that is committed to collaborating with children and families so that at-risk children and youth can succeed and avoid the need for out of home care or incarceration.

Military Services and Family Support Program

The Military Services and Family Support Program is a prevention and early intervention program designed to provide case management, referrals, behavioral assessments, rehabilitative support, family services and in-home visits to any active military personnel, reservists, National Guard or recently retired military and their families who served on or after September 11, 2001. By providing prevention and early intervention the program aims to reduce stress and promote increased support and resiliency in the lives of military families. Two specific targets are; 1) to reduce the stigma for military families in identifying mental health issues and promoting earlier access to mental health treatment and services and 2) to provide guidance and support to military parents to support their children's healthy development and adjustment in the face of the many traumatic stressors present in the lives of military families in a wartime environment.

Intensive

Field Based Mental Health Treatment provided to youth and their families primarily in the home setting within a comprehensive system of care. The goal of these services is to maintain the child in the community in the least restrictive treatment setting appropriate to the acuity of the child's disorder.  The system of care shall be child and family-centered and community-based with the needs of the child and family determining the types and mix of services provided.  These services may be as intensive, frequent and individualized as is medically appropriate to sustain the child in treatment and enhance community functioning.

Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS)

Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) are one-on-one mental health services for youth with serious behavioral challenges. These kids are experiencing a stressful transition or life crisis and need effective, short-term intervention. The goal of TBS is to successfully help the youth transition from a high level of care to a less-restrictive setting; minimize the need for psychiatric hospitalization; and reduce risk of out of home placement.
One-on-one therapeutic contact with the behavioral counselor helps our youth maintain the least restrictive level of care by resolving problem behaviors and achieving short-term treatment goals that can be maintained after services conclude with support from the caregiver.
