Behavioral Health

THE HELP YOU NEED STARTS HERE

Mental health issues can put a tremendous strain on children and families. Our Behavioral Health Services provide essential skills training and development for children aged 3 and up who have received a mental health diagnosis and are covered by Texas Medicaid. We extend these critical services not only to the child but also to their parent or immediate caregiver. At CK Family, we understand the importance of comprehensive care and support for both the child and their family.

EXPERT CARE, WHEREVER YOU ARE

Our team of highly qualified mental health professionals (QMHPs) are committed to delivering personalized care. We offer in-person sessions, typically in the comfort of your home or other suitable community locations. For added convenience and accessibility, we also provide services through secure video telehealth sessions.

EMPOWERING GROWTH, MANAGING CHALLENGES

We recognize that navigating the challenges associated with a mental health diagnosis can be overwhelming. That's why our Behavioral Health Services are designed to empower children and their caregivers. Through evidence-based, research-supported practices, we equip families with the tools they need to manage behavioral issues effectively.

Our program includes a range of evidence-based approaches.

Wraparound and Skills Training are a powerful combination of services that have proven to dramatically improve outcomes for children and families. Learn more about these services in the videos below.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

• Must be at least 3 years old.
• Must be enrolled in and actively covered through Texas Medicaid (see list of accepted Medicaid plans below).
• Must reside in our services area (see Service Areas below).
• Must have a qualifying mental health diagnosis and participate in an initial assessment.

For children in foster or kinship care, we also provide CANS 2.0 assessments required by DFPS for every child aged 3 and above. Assessments must happen within 30 days of a child’s initial removal from their biological home and then every year after.

BRINGING HOPE TO CHILDREN WHO NEED IT MOST

Our HOPE Team (Healing, Overcoming, Placement and Empowerment)

Some children struggle more than others to overcome the trauma, abuse or neglect they have experienced. Mental health issues only escalate their struggle, making it hard for them to secure stable foster family placements. We created a specialized team of professionals to support children in foster or kinship care dealing with these challenging circumstances. As the child moves from one placement to another, their HOPE Team remains constant – and even helps coordinate ongoing care between placements. This is a game changer for the young people who need the most consistent care – and have rarely gotten it.

Our specialized team of professionals includes a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP), Wraparound Coordinator, Licensed Therapist and Licensed Psychiatrist (as indicated). And the young people in our program will keep their HOPE Team and continuous care for as long as they remain in our 19-county service area.

TOOLS TO LAST A LIFETIME
