Child & Family Services
Therapeutic Support Program (TSP)

Workers are on-site in each of the school districts to provide mental health services to children who are severely emotionally disturbed, and to provide consultation and assistance to special education teachers and staff. Services include crisis assistance, development of independent daily living sills, parent education and support, individual and family leisure and recreational skills, medication monitoring, and arranging respite care. Clients are children with a severe emotional disturbance and special education needs and are referred by school districts. The goal of the program is to maintain children in the school when possible, and to limit the need for special education services for individual children.
