CK Behavioral Health offers mental health rehabilitation and targeted case management to children, adolescents, young adults and their families in North and Central Texas (see below for a list of the counties in our service area).  We call these services “Community Support Services”.

Community Support Services can include Trauma Informed Counseling, Skills Training, Medication Training, Routine Mental Health Case Management, and High-Fidelity Wraparound.  At the core of Community Support Services are Skills Training and High-Fidelity Wraparound.  We have found that adding Skills Training as an enhancement to existing, ongoing counseling services dramatically improves outcomes for the client and their family.  To be clear, Skills Training is not the same thing as counseling or therapy.  You’ll see a video talking about the differences between these two a little further down this page.

In most cases these services are provided in your home but might also occur at a child’s school (with appropriate permissions in place) or at another location in the community that is appropriate to the needs of your family.  The frequency and duration of services depends on the needs of the child and your family and can range from as little as an hour every other week to several hours a day.  In severe cases, we recommend more frequent and intense services initially and then taper down to a schedule that is less frequent over time.

• Participants must be enrolled in and actively covered through Texas Medicaid (see list of accepted Medicaid plans below).
