according to the individual
consumer's
needs,
and
is available
through Dakota Counseling
Institute's Pathway program
located
in a separate building beside the
main office in Mitchell.
Each consumer is assigned
a case manager who, with the

be provided to reach
individualized treatment goals. Examples of

Home-Based Therapy
Home-Based Therapy Services are available at
Dakota Counseling Institute
through the children's
program for severely emotionally disturbed (SED)
children. This program
provides intensive and comprehensive child-centered,
family-focused, community-based,
and individualized care
to
children identified
as SED. The parents, families,
and surrogate
families of children with
SED are full participants in all aspects
of services.
The goal of the
SED program is to ensure that children
with SED are able to live with their families and
in their
home
community whenever
possible. Children are referred for
these
services through, for example, their family physician,
social
worker,
court services
worker,
school, or parents.
If, after the initial assessment, the
child meets
SED criteria,
examples
of services provided
are:
- Assessment
and Evaluation
- Family
Education, Support,
or Therapy
