Community Intervention Associates’ offers Family Support Services are provided in the child’s home and community. Services are provided to children and youth who have returned or are returning home from out-of-home care or psychiatric hospitalization and require intensive in-home support, or are at imminent risk of placement due to mental health issues, emotional disturbance, or substance abuse. The intent of this service is to provide the support necessary to successfully maintain each child in his or her home, school, and community. The goal is to provide a degree of support in the home and community setting that is appropriate to children discharged from a more restrictive setting (e.g., residential, psychiatric hospitalization), or as an alternative to a more restrictive treatment setting. Family support services are provided in a way that is child centered, family-focused, strength based, culturally competent, and responsive to each child’s psychosocial, developmental, and family needs. Family Support Services may also include:
- Participation in Parenting Skill-building Groups available in English and Spanish
- Services designed to connect each family with community and school resources to build on each family’s strengths.
- Participation in Family Night Events
- Participation as a member of our “Family Action Committee”
- Visits with a “Family Support Partner”
- Access to support from a F.A.S.T. Team member 24 Hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Family Support Partners are a critical element in delivery of our Family Support Services. Our specially trained, Family Support Partners who have had first hand experience with the Mental Health System help to increase a family’s abilities to:
- Access services and resources.
- Foster their ability to gain greater self-sufficiency.
- Provide better care for their child/youth.
- Enhance their use of community support and relationships.
