Intensive In-Home for Children and Teens
Is your child having a hard time adjusting? Are they struggling with social skills and maintaining friendships? Family changes, school bullying, loss, school issues, previous abuse, difficulties being respectful and struggling to follow the rules of your home can all create chaos in a child’s life.
Intensive In-Home services is a strength-focused, home-based program that provides stability for children, adolescents and their family. By going into your home we are able to better understand your child, their mental health and family relationships. We work with families to create individualized goals for your child. We teach age-appropriate strategies to help them learn how to manage their mental health symptoms, regulate emotions, positive coping skills and techniques, and communication skills.
