Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS)
“Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS)” are a structured program of intensive mental health services provided to a child who is at risk of out-of-home placement due to an event or condition which intensifies the child’s severe emotional disturbance (SED). These services are also offered to a child who is returning from an out-of-home placement. The purpose of the services are to resolve an acute episode of emotional disturbance affecting the child or the child’s family, in order to reduce the risk of out-of-home placement or to reunify and reintegrate the child into the child’s family after placement. Examples of services are individual or family psychotherapy and individual, family and group skills training, mental health behavioral aide services – level II only (MHBA), and direction of a mental health behavioral aide – level II.
