style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Reason I am asking:
crisis prevention services are hard to come by, often leaving families with
only law enforcement or hospitalization for acute symptoms as an option. When
they are available, some services involve removing the child for a period of
time, such as to a group care center or other facility, as a way of avoiding
hospitalization or other institutionalization. Those services typically include
"processing" the event--often with the processing done by
para-professional people (e.g. child care staff, licensed foster parents,
rarely licensed counselors). For many reasons these approaches are often
lacking or impose additional stress, disruption, even adding to traumatic
experiences. (Any parent who thinks hospitalizing their child will give them a
break from the stress is mistaken. Hospitalization requires considerable
involvement from parents!) I have heard of models where crisis intervention
staff may come to the child's home--my state had written a grant that would
have included such a service but the grant was declined. I have heard of
individual situations in which such arrangements have been made, but currently
there is no mechanism in the state to access such arrangements as an
established program. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
