ASAPP Health Care LLC Intensive In-Community Service (IIC) is an incisive, goal oriented, and needs based clinical intervention that addresses emotional and behavioral challenges of youth with moderate to high needs. It may be provided in a youth’s home or in an amenable community location by a licensed behavioral health clinician and is intended to stabilize and support the youth and family in an effort to deter more intensive interventions and to support the youth and family in collaboration with the Child Family Team (CFT) or identified support system. This is a short term, solution focused intervention that addresses presenting behaviors resulting in the youth and her/his family/care giver/guardian gaining insight and improving function at home and in the community. Youth and families are eligible to receive Intensive In-Community Services if they are receiving Care Management, MRSS services, or Treatment Home Stabilization Services through the NJ Children’s System of Care. The IIC Services are intended to be part of a comprehensive plan of care that is driven by the youth and family to address assessed needs. They must be rendered at a time of day and location optimum to the family. The interventions must be contoured to meet the unique needs of the youth, and are reflective of her/his cultural values and norms and utilize the strengths of the youth and family. The primary objective of the interventions is symptom reduction and individual skill development with the goal of restoring or maintaining the youth’s functioning. IIC clinicians may provide youth and their families with an array of interventions such as psycho-education, negotiation and conflict resolution skill training, effective coping skills development, healthy limit-setting, emotional regulation skills development, stress management, self-care, symptom management, problem solving skills, and skill building that enhances self-fulfillment. IIC services are designed to address a specific treatment need(s) as identified by the Child Family Team. IIC providers are expected to be an integral component of Child Family Teams or identified support system. Treatment is family-driven and youth-specific. The identified treatment needs are clearly documented in the CFT/ISP/ICP/treatment plan, which includes specific therapeutic intervention(s) with benchmarks that achieve goals focusing on the restorative functioning of the youth.
