WHAT IS CHILDREN'S THERAPEUTIC SERVICES AND SUPPORT (CTSS)?

Children's Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS) is a flexible mental health program designed to help children whose emotional or behavioral challenges interfere with their daily functioning. The program supports both the child and their family by developing essential skills such as managing emotions, improving peer relationships, resolving family conflicts, and enhancing cooperation and compliance. The goal of CTSS is to help children regain or reach developmental and emotional functioning they may have lost or missed due to mental health disorders or trauma. The program emphasizes social-emotional learning, including self-awareness, emotional regulation, decision-making, and interpersonal skills. CTSS aims to prevent the need for more intensive treatments like day programs or residential care and offers two core services:
