Family Based Mental Health Service (FBMHS) provides in-home services to families with a child or adolescent who is at risk for out of home placement. Participation in services is voluntary and requires the consent and participation of at least one adult caregiver.
FBMHS utilizes the Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy Model (ESFT), a strength-based approach, to empower the family to utilize natural and formal supports to improve relationships within the family through intensive family therapy. FBMHS is a team delivered service, provided by two mental health clinicians in the family home or community. Families are encouraged to take an active role in treatment assessment, planning, and implementation. Sessions occur 2-3 times a week for approximately 32 weeks. On-call crisis services are available 24 hours, 7 days a week.

-
