Family Support Services

The Yale Child Study Center delivers treatment services directly in the homes of children coping with the problems and stresses associated with abuse, neglect, chronic or acute physical and mental illness, parental substance abuse, and/or homelessness. Six home based programs provide evaluation, assessment, individual, family and group psychotherapy, clinical casework, case management, concrete assistance, and advocacy for children, adolescents and their families. The primary goal of treatment is to assist children and families to remain together safely and attain more stable and satisfying patterns of relating to one another. Services are provided by a staff of social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, nurses, physicians, mental health counselors, family support workers and trainees who work with more than 700 children and their families annually.

Home-based treatment programs place a high value on collaboration in the interest of meeting the multiple needs of children and families. Current collaborators include the Connecticut Department of Children and Families, Yale-New Haven Hospital, the Visiting Nurse Association of South Central Connecticut and the Departments of Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Public Health of the Yale University School of Medicine. Major funding sources are the Connecticut Department of Children and Families, the Connecticut Primary Care Association, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Court Support Services Division of the Connecticut Superior Court, Ryan White Title 1, The Michael Bolton Foundation, The MSST Foundation and the Amy Cohen.
