JOB SUMMARY

The NYS OMH established Home Based Crisis Intervention (HBCI) as a short term intensive service to avert unnecessary psychiatric hospitalizations of children and youth. This goal is accomplished via evidence-based interventions with the child/youth and their family, and case management services such as referrals to longer term services. Some critical components of this model which are to be incorporated into the policies and procedures of ROME to provide HBCI Services are:

  Acceptance of only those children/youth who are at imminent risk of psychiatric hospitalization or residential treatment. A short term, crisis oriented, and intensive intervention process which is provided as soon as possible, but no later than 48 hours after referral to the program.

  Flexible staff hours, including rotating 24 hour on call response capability.

  An intake and assessment process designed to ensure that no family is left in a dangerous situation.

  An approach to intervention that focuses on the family, both its strengths and its needs.

  An approach that is multi-faceted including skill building, counseling, and concrete services.

  A small caseload with each Interventionist working with only 2-3 families at a time.

  A brief duration of services, typically 4-6 weeks (for those programs serving solely clients with mental health diagnoses and intellectual/developmental disabilities, the expected duration of services is 6 to 9 weeks).

  Linkage to on-going community supports, i.e.: Mental Health Outpatient Treatment and Rehabilitative Services (MHOTRS), Health Home Care Management, Child and Family Treatment Supports and Services.

  Follow up with families at 1 and 3 month intervals to assess progress and to evaluate the program's success.

  The Target Population for HBCI Service is children/youth ages 5 to 20 years and 11 months of age who are experiencing a psychiatric crisis so severe that unless immediate effective intervention is provided, the child/youth will likely be admitted to a psychiatric hospital or placed in a treatment residence.

PSR Services in our CFTSS Program are designed to restore, rehabilitate and support an child's/youth's developmentally appropriate functioning as necessary for the integration of the child/youth as an active and productive member of their family and community with the goal of achieving minimal on-going professional intervention. Services assist with implementing interventions on a treatment plan to compensate for, or eliminate, functional deficits and interpersonal and/or behavioral health barriers associated with a child/youth's behavioral health needs. Activities are hands on and task oriented, intended to achieve the identified goals or objectives as set forth in the child/youth's individualized treatment plan.
