Community Psychiatric Support and Treatment (CPST)

Provide goal-directed functional supports to children/youth and their families to achieve stability and functional improvement in daily living, personal recovery, as well as family and interpersonal relationships that promote school and community integration.

Conduct CPST services primarily in the community for children/youth who may have difficulty engaging in formal office settings but can benefit from home and/or community based rehabilitative services. The family/caregiver plays an integral role in the support and treatment of the child’s/youth’s behavioral health needs.

Responsibilities

• Assist the child/youth and their family or other adult caregivers to identify strategies or treatment options to minimize the negative effects of symptoms, emotional disturbances, substance use, or environmental stressors that adversely impact the child’s/youth’s functioning in one or more domains (i.e., home, school, community).
• Avoid providing direct clinical treatment, but rather assist in identifying and making healthy/safe choices, and developing age-appropriate coping mechanisms.
• Avoid providing direct clinical treatment, but rather assist in identifying strengths and needs, resources, natural supports, and developing goals and objectives to capitalize on these strengths, improve interpersonal relationships, and build self-esteem.
• Avoid providing direct clinical treatment, but rather assist in restoring, rehabilitating, and supporting the child/youth and their family or other collaterals to minimize the negative effects of behavioral health symptoms or emotional disturbances that interfere with the child’s/youth’s daily living.
• Perform these services in the youth’s home (may include a children’s community residence licensed by OMH), community, office or via telehealth.
• Participate in clinical treatment team meetings, staff meetings, trainings, and supervision.
• Maintain all documentation according to the standards and time frames established by the Jewish Board, regulatory agencies and/or funding sources.
• Maintain professional behaviors and ethical standards as established by licensing board, relevant professional association and the Jewish Board policies and procedures.
• The ability to travel and navigate the community in order to provide services where the youth and family will benefit most from the services delivered.
• Work collaboratively as a member of an interdisciplinary therapeutic team.
