As an IIC, you will meet with clients and families in their households/environments. As a licensed therapist you must be able to address and complete the following:
IIC (INTENSIVE IN-HOME/COMMUNITY COUNSELOR)
Provide in-home/community clinical support for parents/caregivers/guardians and children/youth with behavioral and emotional disturbances. The purpose of these interventions is to strengthen the family, to provide family stability and to preserve the family constellation in the community setting. These services are flexible both as to where and when they are provided based on the family’s needs. They may be provided as a component of the Mobile Response Stabilization System or as a longer-term treatment intervention. This family-driven treatment is based on targeted needs as identified in the ISP/ICP/treatment plan. The ISP/ICP/treatment plan also includes specific intervention(s) with target dates for accomplishment of goals that focus on the restorative functioning of the child/youth with the intention of:
- Stabilizing the child/youth’s behavior(s) that led to the crisis,
- Preventing/reducing the need for inpatient hospitalization,
- Preventing the movement of the child/youth’s residence,
- Preventing the need for out-of-home living arrangements.
IIC will also facilitate a child/youth’s transition from an intensive treatment setting back to his/her community. Interventions will be delivered with the goal of diminishing the intensity of treatment over time. The following are some of the possible interventions that may be implemented.
- Individual and family therapy
- Clinical consultation/evaluation
- Child/youth behavioral management
- Family counseling/psycho education
- Allied Therapies
- Behavioral Assistance
IIC requires the provision of an array of services delivered to the child/youth and his/her family by a community-based, mobile, multidisciplinary team of professionals and paraprofessionals. Services are designed to be maximally flexible in supporting the child/youth and his/her parents/guardians/caregivers at the time of day when the services are most needed and when the family may be most receptive to therapeutic intervention and skills training.
IIC’s are designed to meet the unique needs of the child/youth, based on his/her cultural values and norms and to use the strengths of the family in the treatment process.
IIC should encompass a broad array of interventions ranging from clinical therapy to behavioral assistance. Services may include assistance with addressing basic needs as well as a comprehensive integrated program of clinical rehabilitation services to support improved behavioral, social, educational and vocational functioning. In general, IIC will provide children/youth and their families with services such as psycho education, negotiation and conflict resolution skill training, effective coping skills, healthy limit-setting, stress management, self-care, budgeting, symptom/medication management, and developing or building on skills that would enhance self-fulfillment, education and potential employability. Services are less structured and more flexible than intensive outpatient program services.
