In-Home Family Based Mental Health Therapy for Children up to 21
Pennsylvania Counseling Services offers Family Based Mental Health Services, intensive mental health treatment delivered in the home to children and adolescents up to age 21 and the families they live with.
The support comes from a two-person therapy team. Those teams are available 24/7 to assist families in crisis, strengthen relationships, and build new coping skills. Services typically span an eight-month authorization period, so a family gets consistent, hands-on support over a long stretch rather than a few visits.
The program is centered on reducing the need for out-of-home placements, strengthening and maintaining family units, increasing the life skills and coping abilities of each family member, and reunifying families previously separated due to a child's mental illness. Like the other home, school and community programs at Pennsylvania Counseling Services, it follows CASSP Principles.
To get started, you can make a referral through the referral form at pacounseling.com/referrals. The general number for Pennsylvania Counseling Services is 1-855-272-1653, and you can use it to ask questions about the program. The organization also lists its offices by county at pacounseling.com/locations, including Berks County.
A few things the page leaves open. It does not say which counties Family Based Mental Health Services covers, so ask whether your family's area is served. It does not say what the program costs; Pennsylvania Counseling Services states only that it accepts a variety of insurance plans, so ask about coverage when you call. There is also no office address, no hours and no information on how long it takes to be accepted after a referral.
