Community Based Programs

Amanecer’s Community Based Programs offer a full range of compassionate, culturally competent mental health services to children, transition-age youth (TAY), ages 18-26, and Adults from 26-60+. Each client is assigned a treatment team that includes a therapist, case manager, and psychiatrist/nurse practitioner when necessary. We provide quality mental health services by ensuring our clients are enrolled in a program that will provide the appropriate level of care for our client’s current needs. Services are provided via telehealth, in the office, in clients’ homes, or in the community to meet clients’ treatment needs and goals.

 

Our intensive case management, services offer resources to obtain vocational training, employment, education, housing, and other necessary resources to live self-sufficient lives. Our psychiatric team is made of bilingual/bicultural psychiatrists and nurse practitioners that are to provide mediation support services. 

COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES

Full-Service Partnership (FSP)

Full Service Partnerships embrace client driven services and supports with each client choosing services based on individual needs. Unique to FSP programs are a low staff to client ratio, a 24/7 crisis availability, and a team approach that is a partnership between mental health staff and clients.

Joey  was kicked out of kindergarten for aggressive and harmful behavior. 

He would throw things, hit others, yell and curse at anyone. He would also throw himself against a wall repeatedly. His mother would have to restrain him in order to stop him from hurting himself or someone else. He had no friends and he began to show increased cruelty towards his siblings and to animals. 

Joey was living in a chaotic family setting with a mother who was suffering from PTSD due to domestic violence and four siblings, all of whom were exposed to neglect and abuse. Their home was a tiny one-bedroom apartment with mattresses on the floor for beds. 

Amanecer’s first priority, of course, was to stablize the family. All family members were assigned a therapist and a case manager. After a year, Joey was re-enrolled in school and could sit at a table and color without exploding or throwing anything. His siblings are no longer afraid of him and he has a new friend at school.
