Home-Based Crisis Intervention Program
The Home-Based Crisis Intervention (HBCI) Program provides intensive short-term in-home services (four to six weeks) to children and adolescents at risk of psychiatric hospitalization or out-of-home placement due to psychiatric illness.
The program’s approach to intervention is multifaceted including crisis intervention, advocacy with schools, linkages with mental health, medical and other community services, instruction in child management skills, psycho-education and assistance with entitlement/benefits and concrete needs.
The team consists of four family preservation therapists, all trained in a family-driven and strength-based model.
