What is Children’s Therapeutic Services Support – CTSS?
CTSS is one of the rehabilitative mental health packages covered by MHCP. CTSS is a flexible package of mental health services for children who require varying therapeutic and rehabilitative levels of intervention to address the conditions of emotional disturbance that impair and interfere with the individual’s ability to function independently. For children with emotional disturbances, rehabilitation means that services are provided to restore the child to a level of functioning that they had either achieved before or would have achieved if normal development had not been impaired because of a mental health disorder. CTSS services are time-limited interventions that are delivered using various treatment modalities and combinations of services designed to reach treatment outcomes.
