Children Home and Community Based Services

OLV Human Services Children Home and Community Based Services provides an array of services to Medicaid eligible children and families to prevent onset or progression of behavioral health conditions. Our goal is to identify need early and prevent the need for further restrictive services while allowing the children to remain in their current home.

Our Licensed Clinicians will complete assessments and service plans, and coordinate the services.  We offer the full range of Children Home and Community Based Services, delivered by trained staff that is supervised on a regular basis. The services are provided in the child’s home or community.
