Children’s Therapeutic Services & Supports (CTSS)


CTSS is a flexible package of mental health services for children who require varying therapeutic and rehabilitative levels of intervention. CTSS addresses the conditions of emotional disturbance that impair and interfere with an individual’s ability to function independently. For children with emotional disturbances, rehabilitation means that services are provided to restore the child to a level of functioning that they either had or would have achieved if normal development had not been impaired by a mental health disorder. CTSS services are time-limited interventions that are delivered using various treatment modalities and combinations of services designed to reach measurable treatment outcomes identified in an individual treatment plan (ITP). CTSS services include School Based Skills Training, Office Based Skills Training, In-Home Skills and Therapy, Psychotherapy, and Crisis Services.

Summer REACH

Reach is an intensive eight week rehabilitative skill based summer program providing therapeutic and fun activities in a group setting. Children are grouped by age and location and guided by Licensed Mental Health Professional and Mental Health Practitioners in activities designed to build needed skills in self-management and interpersonal relationships.
Families are kept informed of their child's experience and progress and are involved in some program activities. Transportation to and from the program sites is provided. Children are served one meal as part of the program.

Art Intervention

Art Intervention uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the mental, emotional and physical well-being of individuals of all ages. The creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.
