Read the first 7 Service Array flashcards as text

  1. In the CASSP framework, which service array component specifically addresses the need for children with behavioral health challenges to remain in family-like settings?

    Answer: Therapeutic foster care

    Therapeutic foster care provides a family-like environment with specialized supports, keeping children in community-based settings rather than congregate care.

  2. Crisis stabilization services within the CAASP service array are BEST distinguished from inpatient hospitalization by which characteristic?

    Answer: Short-term, community-based intervention preventing hospitalization

    Crisis stabilization provides brief, community-based support to de-escalate crises and divert youth from more restrictive inpatient settings.

  3. A wraparound plan for a youth with serious emotional disturbance (SED) should PRIMARILY be driven by:

    Answer: The family's and youth's identified strengths, needs, and culture

    Wraparound is a family-driven, strengths-based planning process where the family and youth are central decision-makers.

  4. Which service array element is designed to support youth transitioning from residential or inpatient care back to the community?

    Answer: Step-down transitional services

    Step-down or transitional services bridge the gap between intensive treatment settings and community life, reducing relapse and re-hospitalization.

  5. In the CAASP continuum, 'non-secure detention alternatives' are MOST aligned with which service array principle?

    Answer: Using least restrictive, community-based options for youth involved with juvenile justice

    Non-secure alternatives align with the CAASP principle of serving youth in the least restrictive setting while maintaining community safety.

  6. Family support services in the CAASP service array are PRIMARILY intended to:

    Answer: Build family capacity to care for a child with behavioral health needs at home

    Family support services strengthen the family unit's ability to meet the child's needs and maintain the youth safely in the home.

  7. Which statement BEST reflects the role of peer support services within the CAASP service array?

    Answer: Youth and family peers with lived experience provide mentorship and navigation support

    Peer support services leverage individuals with lived experience of behavioral health challenges to help youth and families navigate systems and reduce stigma.
