Diversion/Intensive In-home Services
In an effort to divert families from out-of-home care placement or future placement, KVC began working with the Diversion Project in Kentucky. The Diversion Project is a partnership grant with The Department of Community-Based Services (DCBS) focused on addressing children and adolescents who have serious social or emotional issues, and sometimes require removal from their homes. The project also includes children and adolescents who are returning home from an out-of-home care placement.
The Diversion Project provides intense, clinical assessment, treatment and aftercare plans. These plans are carried out by a team of clinicians, psychiatrists, case managers and therapeutic child support staff, in collaboration with DCBS family service workers and their respective teams
When a child comes into KVC care, one of our master’s-level clinicians completes a thorough assessment and develops a treatment plan to address individual and family needs.
Therapeutic services are delivered according to the wraparound treatment model, using an interdisciplinary treatment team and natural family supports. These services may last up to four months.
