Family Based Services
The Family Based Mental Health Services Program is designed to provide intensive in-home services to families at risk of having their children or adolescents placed outside of the home. The goal of the program is to provide a more intensive therapeutic intervention for the entire family. In doing so, it is believed that the number of days a child needs to be out of the home in psychiatric, residential, or foster care placements will be reduced.
The program uses therapeutic teams to deliver services to families. Most of their time is spent in direct contact with the family. The program is time limited, with treatment lasting from 1 to 8 months. During this time, teams schedule visits a minimum of 2 times per week or as often as the family's needs may require. The sessions may be videotaped for use in clinical supervision.
