In-Home Therapy (IHT) i

Therapeutic Mentoring (TM) is a 1:1 service between a paraprofessional staff member and the identified youth, working together to develop.

Intensive Care Coordination: A care planning service for youth that receive or need multiple services across mental health providers, state agencies, and/or special education.

Family Support and Training: A service provided by Family Partners (FPs) that educate, support, and coach the parent/caregiver

Partial Hospitals Providers

A partial hospitalization program (PHP)can be an option when a student needs more support than outpatient therapy but does not require 24/7 inpatient care. PHPs offer a structured, day-long treatment environment while allowing patients to live at home, bridging the gap between inpatient and outpatient care. Days at a partial hospital program include group counseling, individual counseling and sometimes medication management. Often the hours are 9-3 and the treatment can 2 weeks or longer.
