Family Support Service
 The Yale Intensive In-Home Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Services (IICAPS) The Yale Intensive In-Home Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Services (IICAPS) is designed to address the comprehensive needs of children with psychiatric disorders whose families are unable to maintain them safely within their own homes. Children appropriate for IICAPS are those who can be discharged from psychiatric hospitals or residential treatment facilities with additional in-home support; children in acute psychiatric crisis for whom hospitalization is being considered; or children for whom traditional outpatient treatment is insufficient to maintain them appropriately in the community. IICAPS services, which rely upon the creation of a working partnership between the child, the family and the treatment team, include assessment, psychological and psychiatric evaluation; development and implementation of a comprehensive treatment plan; time limited family, individual and couples psychotherapy; crisis response 24 hours/7 days per week; school consultation; parent guidance and training in behavioral management techniques; clinically informed case management and case coordination; multi-systems collaboration and coordination; and culturally competent, bilingual intervention services provided by a team consisting of a master's level mental health clinician and a child and family mental health counselor.
