Our Family Support Specialists provide free resource navigation and care team coordination.

 

They can connect caregivers with mental health services or other family support services. They help caregivers to call Care Team meetings to improve cross-system communication and coordination between providers. 

Our Family Peer Specialists provide free resilience coaching. They have "been there and done that" so they can walk with families as a support and guide. Family Peer Specialists can practice coping strategies from our CALM Room or help you set up your personalized Family Care Organizer.

For you AND your clients.

 

Visit our virtual Calm Room to find 80+ tools to distract, relax and help you cope.  Many of these tools are based on CBT, DBT or Solution Focused therapy strategies. Other tools are more holistic or culture-based. 

 

Our Family Peer Specialists can practice these strategies with caregivers and their children.

An "All in One Place" Family Care Organizer can make it easier for families to organize paperwork, keep track of changes, and share information with mental health professionals, doctors, child care, school, and family members etc. 

 

Care Teams can use this tool to create a "virtual wraparound" space for sharing information. Just fill out the forms online and save to a folder on Google Drive.

RCCMHC Partners and Member Agencies can apply for funds to provide non-billable youth mental health services and supports.​

 

We hope this will support you to serve families in creative ways while practicing physical distancing. This may include non-billable telehealth, client phone check-ins/coaching, and mental health services that are not covered in treatment plans etc. 

Increased stress and isolation are leading to increased mental health, substance use, and maltreatment issues... so more families are experiencing crises and need support. 

​

Visit this page to find printable resources on navigating Ramsey County services, crisis warning signs and intervention strategies. 

RCCMHC hosts FREE trainings throughout the year based on needs that are identified by our community. CEUs are usually available.
