Key Takeaways
- There are many evidenced-based therapies to treat different behavioral health diagnoses. Having a basic understanding of evidence-based treatment modalities can help with identifying an appropriate treatment provider and allow Family Navigators to share knowledge of what to expect with families. Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidenced-based therapy that can be beneficial for children and young adults who have experienced trauma.
- There is a continuum of behavioral health crisis supports available to children and families in NC InCK counties. It is important for Family Navigators to be aware of available crisis supports and share them proactively with family or members that have a known or suspected behavioral health diagnosis.
- Tailored Care Management (TCM) provides whole-person care management to individuals who are Tailored Plan eligible. TCM providers can link individuals to enhanced supports available in the Tailored Plan to address mental health and I/DD diagnoses. Family Navigators can assist with transitions to TCM by supporting families in reaching out to LME/MCO member services and the enrollment broker.
