The In-Home Support Specialist helps clients put their individualized treatment plans into action through skills training, cueing, supervision, medication support, therapeutic behavioral interventions, connection to community resources, emotion regulation, crisis coping, and development of healthy interpersonal skills. Every visit is an opportunity to help someone move forward in their recovery and build a healthier, more hopeful life.
