The Home Based Services Program of Lapeer County Community Mental Health is dedicated to providing intensive home and community based services to children, adolescents, and families with multiple service needs who require access to a continuum of mental health services. The program serves children who have a severe emotional disturbance, and their families, who are at risk of out-of-home placement or who are just returning from an out-of-home placement. The Home-Based Services Program is a community-based program where client services management and treatment is provided to the family in their home and community. The services provided support and empower families, emphasize assertive intervention, parent and professional teamwork, and community involvement with other service providers. The services are provided by a team of staff and are documented in the Family Plan of Service. This program is moderately intense and provides two to five hours of service per week to each family. However, during periods of family crisis, additional hours of service will be provided. Home Based Services are a combination of individual therapy, family therapy, crisis intervention, case management, care coordination, and family collateral contacts. These contacts may be with the identified consumer or with collateral family members. Collateral contacts are used to obtain information necessary to plan appropriate treatment or to assist family members so they can respond therapeutically to the identified child's problems, needs, and/or behaviors. |
