Altacare of Montana Coming To St.Ignatius Schools

I wanted to share some information about a new program coming to St.Ignatius Schools.
Program: Comprehensive School Based and Community Treatment Program, (CSCT) AltaCare

Goal: To develop, maintain, and support the student's capacity to achieve success in both the public school classroom and his/her home community.

AltaCare of Montana's School Based Treatment Program are intended to promote students positive involvement in their community, school, and home while affording youth the opportunity to receive specialized mental health services in the least restrictive treatment environment possible. Effective services of this type prevent transition of youths into more restrictive and costly treatment programs while providing a link to community, family, peer, and educational resources. Quality Comprehensive School and Community Treatment Programs reduce the risk factors while focusing on the enhancement of productive factors in the lives of youth, by partnering with local school districts.

Through collaboration and partnerships with an experienced mental health provider, parents and schools can effectively provide for the mental health needs of the students while maintaining the student in his/her home school. School Based Treatment within the existing community structure is an effective and contemporary way to address children mental concerns.
