St. Joseph's Villa helping at-risk youth in Rochester NY

Children's Intensive Case Management (ICM) — provides case management for children and teens, age 5 to 18, who have a primary mental health diagnosis and lengthy histories of psychiatric hospitalizations and crisis-related contacts with mental health services. ICM staff do not provide treatment but are case managers who work to improve coordination and communication among the child’s service providers. Available to provide crisis intervention 24-hours-a-day, ICM staff advocate for the child and family with teachers, psychiatrists, case workers, medical personnel and others involved with their care. The goal is to help youth with serious emotional needs remain successfully with their families and home schools, and reduce their risk of crisis, hospitalization and out-of-home placement. Supportive Case Management (SCM) services are also provided for youth whose emotional needs are less severe, yet still place them at risk for difficulties at home and school.

Aftercare -- provides a combination of individual, family and group therapy to help teens who are leaving residential care or group homes make a successful return to their families, schools and community. Aftercare social workers begin preparing the child and family prior to the transition and continue to provide support for several months or years after, based on need. The goal is to help the child maintain the progress and skills developed during placement, strengthen family relationships and promote a stable, nurturing home environment that will promote the child’s long-term growth and prevent a recurrent placement. Social workers provide in-home therapy, school consults, employment assistance, life skills training, and referrals to mental health services and community resources.

Transitional Services -- are provided to teens ages 14 to 20 to help teens in foster homes or residential programs prepare for, and begin, independent life in the community. Based on individual needs, social workers visit teens prior to their transition and throughout their adjustment to independence to provide counseling, teach independent living skills, help teens work toward educational, vocational and social goals, build emotional strengths and utilize community resources.
