Youth Community Services
Community Based Services (CBS) provides individualized support for children and adolescents whose emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges are impacting their ability to function successfully at home, school, and in the community. Services focus on helping youth build healthy coping skills, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills needed to be successful in everyday life.
Support is provided in the environments where children and families need it most, including the home, school, and community, with services tailored to each child’s unique needs and treatment goals. Participation begins with an evaluation to determine eligibility and identify the most appropriate level of support.
Additional SED Waiver Program
The SED Waiver program provides additional support for children and adolescents with significant mental health needs who require more intensive services to remain safely and successfully in their home and community. The program helps families access specialized supports that promote stability, independence, and reduce the need for higher levels of care. Eligibility for the SED Waiver is determined based on clinical criteria and state guidelines.
Population served: Ages 4 -18
