Programs

Our Intensive In-Home Services (IIHS) for children and adolescents under age 21, are time-limited interventions provided in the individual’s residence and when clinically necessary in community settings.  The IIHS program is designed specifically to improve family dynamics, provide modeling, and the clinically necessary interventions that increase functional and therapeutic interpersonal relations between family members in the home.

Mental health skill-building services are defined as goal-directed training to enable individuals to achieve and maintain community stability and independence in the most appropriate, least restrictive environment. MHSS must include goal-directed training in the following areas in order to qualify for reimbursement: functional skills and appropriate behavior related to the individual’s health and safety; activities of daily living, and use of community resources; assistance with medication management; and monitoring health, nutrition, and physical condition.

Individuals qualifying for Mental Health Skill-building Services must demonstrate a clinical necessity for the service arising from a condition due to mental, behavioral, or emotional illness that results in significant functional impairments in major life activities. Services are provided to individuals who require individualized training to achieve or maintain stability and independence in the community.

Our Outpatient Services are designed to provide a continuum of care for individuals already participating in IIHS or MHSS in addition to individuals and families in the community. Outpatient Services include individual therapy, couples’ therapy, and groups for adults and children/adolescents. FACES provides trauma-informed care and specializes in using evidence-based treatments for individuals who have experienced traumatic events (i.e., childhood abuse/neglect, abusive spouses or romantic partners, natural disasters, etc.).  Individual therapy in which the client is treated on a one-on-one basis allows the therapist and client to focus on each other, building a rapport and working together to solve the client’s issue.  Couples therapy principles will include changing views of the relationship, modifying dysfunctional behavior, decreasing emotional avoidance, improving communication, and promoting strength.  Payment and insurance options are discussed at the time of the referral. 

FACES provide crisis stabilization services for non-hospitalized individuals in providing direct mental health care to individuals experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis which may jeopardize their current community living situation. Services may be provided for up to a 15-day period per crisis episode (maximum of 60 days in an annual year) following a face-to-face service (one-on-one, group and family therapy and care coordination services)-specific provider intake by an LMHP, LMHP-supervisee, LMHP-

The goals of the crisis stabilization program are to avert hospitalization or re-hospitalization, provide normative environments with a high assurance of safety and security for crisis intervention, stabilize individuals in psychiatric crisis, and mobilize the resources of the community support system and family members and others for on-going maintenance and rehabilitation.
