HOME VISITING
SERVICES
Our home visiting program provides mental health services for all members of households where a primary caregiver may have a mental or physical condition, cultural belief, or difficult circumstances that prevent them from leaving home to attend a mental health clinic on a regular basis. Home visits can help members of the household stay out of the hospital or more intense therapy by dealing with the problem early on, before it escalates due to the patient’s inability to attend clinics regularly. Our multicultural, multilingual staff provides professional and skilled counseling for adults and children.
Our dedicated home visiting program offers a lifeline to individuals and families facing unique challenges that make it difficult for them to access traditional mental health clinics. We understand that physical or mental conditions, cultural beliefs, or difficult circumstances can limit their ability to attend regular clinic appointments. That’s why our compassionate team provides comprehensive mental health services right in the comfort of their own homes.
With our home visiting services, we aim to prevent hospitalization or the need for more intensive therapy by addressing mental health concerns early on. By intervening at the onset of issues, we can minimize their impact and provide support to individuals and families when they need it most.
Our team consists of a diverse group of professionals who are fluent in English, Creole, Spanish, and Russian. This allows us to effectively communicate and provide culturally sensitive counseling to a wide range of individuals. Whether it’s adults or children, our skilled therapists are equipped to offer professional support tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
Through our home visiting program, we strive to promote mental well-being, improve quality of life, and foster resilience within households facing challenging circumstances. We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality mental health care, and our dedicated staff is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
If you or a loved one are in need of mental health support but face barriers to accessing traditional clinics, our home visiting services are here to provide compassionate care and help you on your journey to wellness.
ENGLISH, CREOLE, SPANISH AND RUSSIAN SPEAKING THERAPISTS AVAILABLE.
HOME VISITING SERVICES FOR CHILDREN
IDCC also facilitates a specialized home-visiting program for children who cannot regularly attend necessary care visits. We will provide care managers who help children and their families, acting as an advocate for their various needs.
Managers will orchestrate a care team that may include a therapist, psychiatrist, para-professional, teacher and or counselor to ensure the child’s health needs are taken care of. Additionally, they can help coordinate government programs such as food stamps and provide educational information concerning the child’s diagnosis.
At IDCC, we recognize that some children face unique challenges that prevent them from regularly attending necessary care visits. Our specialized home-visiting program is designed to bridge this gap by bringing essential care directly to the child and their family’s doorstep.
Our dedicated care managers are experienced professionals who serve as advocates for children and their families. They work closely with them to understand their specific needs and create a comprehensive care plan tailored to the child’s well-being. The care team may include a therapist, psychiatrist, para-professional, teacher, and counselor, ensuring that all aspects of the child’s health and development are addressed.
In addition to coordinating the care team, our managers also provide valuable support in navigating government programs such as food stamps and other resources that can benefit the child and the family. We understand the importance of addressing not only the child’s medical needs but also their educational and social well-being. Therefore, we provide educational information concerning the child’s diagnosis to ensure that parents and caregivers are well-informed and empowered to support their child’s growth and development.
Our goal is to ensure that no child is left behind when it comes to accessing necessary care and support. By bringing care directly to their homes, we eliminate barriers and make healthcare more accessible and convenient for children with unique circumstances.
If your child is unable to regularly attend care visits and requires specialized support, our home-visiting services are here to provide comprehensive care and assist you in navigating the healthcare system. Together, we can create a nurturing environment where your child can thrive and reach their full potential.
