Programs described in its return (1)
- $5.8 million spent. The facility is licensed by the State Department of Social Services as a Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) for 16 children ages 6-21. The STRTP provides intensive mental health services and residential treatment for 6-12 months until the youth can stabilize and ideally return to family based care either with relatives or a resource family. The program serves 25-40 youth per year.Clinical Services - The STRTP Mental Health Program is funded through a contract with Sacramento County Behavioral Health utilizing Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) funding. EPSDT is the child health component of Medicaid. It is required in every state and is designed to improve the health of low-income children, by financing appropriate and necessary pediatric services. Health Services - A Licensed Vocational Nurse(LVN) provides oversight of our medical program. The LVN ensures that arrangements are made for children and youth to receive medical assessments with a pediatrician for the Child and Health and Disability Prevention Program and to address any possible medical concerns.Appointments are scheduled for follow up with primary care physicians, dentists, and optometrists to ensure that youth receive the best medical care while in our care.Activities & Recreation - Activities and recreation are a great way to keep our kidsoccupied in a constructive and healthy manner. Daily activities are providedon campus for different age groups. We take the youth on as many field trips and off-site outings as staff time and funding allows. We use gift certificates to take the children on activities such as skating, to basketball and baseball games, and other fun places such as Scandia and Golfland Sunsplash.Education Transportation is provided to and from the schools of origin of each youth residing with CRH on any given day. Extracurricular and after-school activities are accommodated through the generous support of private donors. Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) - CRH operates a partial hospitalizationprogram for latency aged and adolescents with behavioral and emotional diagnosis. The program is a day treatment program with a rich staffing model utilizing Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and group therapy for the course of 5-10 days for youth ages 10-17. This program is funded through contracted rates with insurance companies for their insured client base and serves 200-250 youth per year.Sprouts Trauma-Informed Care Preschool (TIC) - Sprouts provides early intervention services for the very youngest survivors of abuse and neglect (ages 2-6). Utilizing a traditional preschool setting, the program goes beyond teaching young children their ABCs and 123s to provide therapeutic interventions in a warm and playful atmosphere that addresses the trauma itself. Sprouts is funded by a contract with Placer County Behavioral Health as well as by philanthropic support from individuals and organizations.
