IICAPS

Intensive In-Home Child and Psychiatric Service

    Housed under the clinic's Home-Based Services, IICAPS is a Yale University model created to meet the comprehensive needs of children with severe psychiatric disorders.  Children appropriate for IICAPS intervention may be returning home from psychiatric hospitalization, at-risk for institutionalization or hospitalization, or unable to benefit from traditional outpatient treatment.  The program makes use of a consistent treatment team to provide comprehensive assessments, case management, individual and family treatment, and crisis intervention. Intervention is informed by a synthesis of the medical model, development psychopathology, systems theory, and wraparound concepts.
