Children appropriate for IICAPS have experienced psychiatric hospitalization, are at-risk for residential placement or hospitalization, or need a higher level of support than traditional outpatient treatment can provide. Utilizing a community-based approach, a clinical team (consisting of a master-level clinician and a bachelor-level mental health worker) works with the child, family, and school system to stabilize and support the child in the home. Services are provided in-home, multiple times each week over a six-month period. FAQS REFERRALS About IICAPS: A Program That Comes to You The IICAPS program was developed in 1996 by a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and mental health providers at Yale University to meet the growing needs of families with children with persistent psychiatric disorders. IICAPS is a home-based, family-focused treatment program accommodating the family's everyday schedule. It helps identify and resolve problems that could result in hospitalization or out-of-home placements and improves the child's relationships and functioning at home, in school and in the community. By recognizing a child’s strengths, IICAPS focuses on them as part of a specialized treatment plan developed in conjunction with the family and child.
