| Mental Health Care, Inc. proposes to provide Triage and Emergency Crises Response Services to children and their families in the Suncoast Region. The staff will be available to Child Protective Investigators 24/7 for triage, assessment, case management and therapeutic services. Master's level therapists and bachelor's level case managers will assist families for a period of 30 days in order to stabilize crisis situations and minimize the number of "out of home placements". Families will be limited to community resources prior to the termination of the program's services to ensure follow up and continuous care. | |||||||||
