TrueNorth Wellness Services – Children’s Services

Family Based Mental Health Services (York and Adams Counties): provides short term, intensive, community-based counseling to families with children or adolescents who are at risk for removal from the home due to severe emotional or behavioral problems. FBMHS also assists families to transition children and adolescents who were already removed back into the home. FBMHS are provided directly in the home (may involve two to four visits a week depending on the need) by a team of trained mental health professionals and may involve different family members at different times. The program combines counseling, case management, and family support services. All services are coordinated for those families involved with other systems (e.g., special education, children and youth, drug and alcohol, juvenile justice).

Functional Family Therapy (Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and York Counties): an evidence-based program that helps families understand the importance of communication and commitment, learn healthy coping and problem-solving strategies, and decrease risk in order to enhance protective factors contributing to success in the home, school and community.

Intensive Behavioral Health Services (Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Perry, and York Counties): supports children and their families by providing intensive services in the home, school, and community settings as necessary. This program focuses on stabilizing symptoms and behaviors and transferring skills to the child’s natural support system.

School-Based Outpatient Therapy Services (Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Fulton, and York Counties): programs that offer students in multiple school districts within Central PA have an opportunity to meet with therapists either on an outpatient basis, where students have weekly appointments in an office setting, or on a more integrated basis, where the therapist works as part of a therapeutic emotional support or autism support classroom. Group therapy, individual therapy, and behavioral support are provided on a regular basis throughout the school year.
