The Volunteers of America of Minnesota Mental Health Clinics’ Home-based/CTSS (Children’s Therapeutic Services and Support) Program offers strengths-based, family-centered mental health services for emotionally disturbed (ED), or severely emotionally disturbed (SED) children, adolescents and their families. Services focus on improving a youth’s functioning at home, at school, within the context of the family and/or in the community.
Specific Home-based/CTSS Program Services include comprehensive diagnostic assessment, treatment planning with family involvement, individual and family skills building, individual and family therapy.
Our Home-based/CTSS staff is composed of highly trained, experienced, culturally competent, mental health professionals and practitioners that coordinate services with other mental health and CTSS providers. They utilize resources within a youth’s extended family members and community such as, county workers, schools/IEPs (Individualized Education Programs), doctors, mentors, Personal Care Attendants, churches, and any other parties with a vested interest in the success of the youth and family. Additionally, consultation, support and direct service is available from the multi-disciplinary team of mental health professionals in the Volunteers of America of Minnesota Mental Health Clinics. This is especially valuable when the child needs psychiatric or psychological assessment services.
The Volunteers of America Mental Health Clinics are Minnesota Department of Human Services licensed Rule 29 Mental Health Clinics and are accredited by the Council on Accreditation. Additionally, we are a DHS certified provider of Children’s Therapeutic Services and Support (CTSS) with local certification in several counties including Anoka, Benton, Hennepin, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Ramsey, Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright.
