Mental Health Services For Children
Intensive In-Home Services
Intensive In-Home Services are provided for children/adolescents under the age of 18. The primary goal of the service is to stabilize youth in the home setting and to decrease the risk of placement outside of the home or to transition youth to home from an out of home placement. For purposes of this service, home is defined as the family residence, and includes a child living with natural parents, relatives, or guardians, or the family residence of the child’s permanent or temporary foster care or pre-adoption family residence.
These services are time-limited interventions (up to 26 weeks) provided typically but not solely in the residence of the child. Any extension of these services must be preauthorized. In-Home services include crisis intervention services, psychiatric and pharmacological services, individual/ family counseling/therapy and communication skills building (e.g. counseling to assist the child and his parents to understand and practice appropriate problem-solving, anger management, and interpersonal interaction, etc.) case management, and 24 hour emergency response.
