Program Description

The Community Action Team (CAT) is a multi-disciplinary team consisting of mental health counselors, case managers, therapeutic mentors, a nurse, and a psychiatrist who provide comprehensive, intensive, community-based treatment to families with children at risk of out-of-home placement due to a mental health disorder. The CAT Team provides family-centered, culturally competent services focused around the strengths and needs of each child and his or her family with a goal of supporting and sustaining the child in his or her family system and community. Medical staff provides psychiatric care, basic health status checks and works with the family to maintain medical records and linkages to community health care practitioners. The CAT Team assists the family in developing a natural support network, improve interactions with the school system, and develop and use other community resources and supports.
