BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES   Our mission is to meet the behavioral health needs of families in order to strengthen and enrich our communities.   In harmony with the 12 Principles, Family Support Resources provides assistance to TXIX and TXXI families along with a variety of covered services.   The Behavioral Health Services available through FSR are tailored to meet the needs of the child and family while respecting their own unique culture and enhancing their ability to utilize their strengths.   Respite Care Respite care services involve the supervision and/or care of persons residing at home in order to provide an interval of rest and/or relief to the persons and/or their primary care givers and may include a range of activities and behavioral health services to meet the social, emotional and physical needs of the person during the respite period. These services may be provided on a short-term basis (i.e., few hours during the day) or for longer periods of time involving overnight stays. Living Skills Training Teaching independent living, social, and communication skills to persons and/or their families in order to maximize the person's ability to live and participate in the community and to function independently. Examples of the areas that may be addressed include self-care, household management, social decorum, same and opposite-sex friendships, avoidance of exploitation, budgeting, recreation, development of social support networks and use of community resources. Services may be provided to a person, a group of persons or their families with the person(s) present. Personal Assistance Personal assistance services involve the provision of support activities to assist a person in carrying out daily living tasks and other activities essential for living in a community. May include assistance with homemaking (e.g., cleaning, food preparation, essential errands), personal care (e.g., bathing, dressing, oral hygiene), and general supervision and appropriate intervention (e.g., assistance with self-administration of medications and monitoring of individual's condition and functioning level). Services may involve hands-on assistance, such as performing the task for the person or cueing the person to perform the task. These services are provided to maintain or increase the self-sufficiency of the person. Family Support Family support services involve face-to-face interaction with family member(s) directed toward restoration, enhancement, or maintenance of the family functioning to increase the family's ability to effectively interact and care for the person in the home and community. May involve support activities such as assisting the family to adjust to the person's disability, developing skills to effectively interact and /or manage the person, understanding the causes and treatment of behavioral health issues, understanding and effectively utilizing the system, or planning long term for the person and the family. Peer Support Peer support services are provided by persons or family members who are or have been consumers of the behavioral health system. This may involve assistance with more effectively utilizing the service delivery system (e.g., assistance in developing plans of care, identifying needs, accessing supports, partnering with professionals, overcoming service barriers) or understanding and coping with the stressors of the person's disability (e.g., support groups), coaching, role modeling and mentoring, or understanding and coping with the stressors of the person's disability (e.g., support groups).   Peer support services are intended for enrolled persons and/or their families who require greater structure and intensity of services than those available through community-based recovery fellowship groups and who are not yet ready for independent access to community-based recovery groups (e.g., AA, NA, Dual Recovery). These services may be provided to a person, group or family.
