Striving Kids in Progress is an Intensive In-Community Service provider within the Division of Children’s System of Care (CSOC). Services are delivered to youth with behavioral health needs and are designed to help maintain children in the least restrictive setting and to preserve their home environment.

Intensive In-Community Service (IIC) is an analytical, focused goal oriented, and needs based clinical intervention that addresses emotional and behavioral challenges of youth with moderate to high needs. The service is provided in the youth’s home or in an amenable community location by our licensed behavioral health clinician. The service is intended to stabilize and support the youth and family in an effort to deter more intensive interventions and to support the youth and family in collaboration with the Child Family Team (CFT) or identified support system.

The primary objective of the interventions is symptom reduction and individual skill development with the goal of restoring or maintaining the youth’s functioning. Our IIC clinicians will provide youth and their families with an array of interventions such as psycho-education, negotiation and conflict resolution skill training, effective coping skills development, healthy limit-setting, emotional regulation skills development, stress management, self-care, symptom management, problem solving skills, and skill building that enhances self-fulfillment .

At Striving Kids in Progress, we believe that the home is the foundation for success. Therefore, our behavioral health services are geared towards assisting children and adolescents with behavioral and emotional challenges in their own home environment. We are committed to determining the needs of each individual we serve through an interactive process whereby we solicit input from professionals who are engaged and knowledgeable about various aspects of children and adolescent behaviors.
