Children's Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS)
Flexible range of mental health and rehabilitation services for children and youth with emotional disturbance or co-occurring substance use disorders
Description
Children's Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS) provides a flexible range of mental health and rehabilitation services for children and youth with emotional disturbances and their families. The services are for children and youth who need higher levels of service than standard outpatient therapy.
CTSS services aim to help children:
- Recover an age-appropriate level of mental and emotional development that had been disrupted by a psychiatric illness
- Self-monitor, compensate for, cope with, counteract, or replace psychosocial skills deficits
- Develop psychological, emotional, and intellectual processing abilities and personal and social functioning skills
Specific services provided to a youth and their family are based on:
- Diagnostic and functional assessment
- Child's therapeutic and support needs
- Family needs
- Family culture
- Availability of clinic, home, and school based services
CTSS services can be basic community-based therapy services, such as in a home or school. They can also be more intensive site-based services, such as day treatment. For families with complex needs and multiple providers, services must be coordinated with other providers or agencies working together.
CTSS services may include (depending on need and availability):
- Therapy - Individual, family, and/or group psychotherapy
- Skills training - Individual, family, and group skills training
- Mental Health Behavioral Aide (MHBA) Services - One-to-one service that helps youth manage behavior problems and symptoms at home or school
- Crisis Planning is the development of a written plan to help the child's family to contend with a potential crisis
- Children's day treatment combines psychotherapy and skills training for three hours per day
Additional Information
Includes:
- Psychotherapy and skills training, which would consist of activities designed to promote skill development of both the child and the family
- Promote family preservation and unification, family integration into the community, and reduce unnecessary out-of-home placement of the child
