Services for a parent/caregiver may include:
- Education, coaching and training
- Assistance with child-serving systems (e.g., Departments of Children and Families, Mental Health and Youth Services)
- Help finding peer/parent support and self-help groups
- Help identifying formal and community resources (e.g., after-school programs, food assistance and summer camps)
Family support and training services are hub-dependent, meaning they require referral from a clinical-hub provider — an outpatient or in-home therapy provider — who coordinates the child's or teen’s care and works together with other service providers. FS&T services are also provided in conjunction with intensive care coordination services within the community service agency. FS&T does not require prior authorization.
FS&T providers can call 888-257-1985 (TTY: 711) for more information.
