Our Methods
Full diagnostic testing and assessments are performed to address the client's needs and strengths. This will ensure that realistic and achievable goals are set.
All clients are given an appropriate assessment of their eligibility to receive services, including admission and exclusion criteria, as well as all applicable federal, state, and agency guidelines.
A clinical intervention plan is designed to meet the individual client's needs. Each client receives comprehensive family-focused in-home and/or outpatient care through sound therapeutic practice. This plan will incorporate other community agencies to give the client the broadest spectrum of support.
Clinical services are provided to work toward preserving and restoring the integrity of the home and family. Once the clinical plan is completed, services are periodically assessed for continuation or termination.
