How you can make a bigger difference:

Children and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS) are new behavioral health services covered by NYS Medicaid. CFTSS helps children and youth with mental health and substance use needs. CFTSS works with each child/youth to provide care in a way that works best for them and their families.

The Other Licensed Professional (OLP) will provide community based mental health services in the home and other natural community-based settings, to children/youth designed to prevent the progression of behavioral health needs through early identification and intervention, and to assess the needs of children/youth for which behavioral health conditions have not yet been diagnosed. The provider will offer treatment to correct or ameliorate a delay or problem with healthy relationships or developmental functioning for children/youth with existing diagnosis for whom flexible community- based treatment is needed. Upon completion of a clinical assessment the provider may recommend further medically necessary services, such as rehabilitative services. All services are delivered in a trauma informed, culturally and linguistically competent manner.

Some responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Conduct comprehensive evaluations and psychosocial assessments
• Develop treatment plans in collaboration with clients and family members (as appropriate), to identify treatment needs and interventions and review/revise treatment plans to reflect client’s treatment progress and changing problems/goals.
