Our Services
AHOCI provides mental health services to children ages 6-17 who are part of the SED population. We strive to build stronger emotional balance and life skills for the success of each child.
Habilitation
Habilitation is a supportive service offered through Indiana’s Children’s Mental Health Wraparound (CMHW) and Children’s Mental Health Initiative(CMHI) programs. It is designed to help children and teens with serious emotional disturbances (SED) learn and develop important life skills that support emotional well-being and daily functioning.
This service is provided in the home and community by trained professionals who work directly with the child to:
Develop daily living skills – such as hygiene routines, time management, and personal responsibility
Improve emotional regulation – helping the child recognize feelings and respond in healthy, productive ways
Encourage independence – teaching skills that promote confidence and self-reliance
Reinforce positive behaviors – building consistency and structure in daily habits
Strengthen communication – supporting respectful expression of thoughts, needs, and boundaries
Habilitation is not just about managing symptoms—it’s about helping each child build lasting skills that support long-term success at home, in school, and in the community. This service is individualized based on the child’s unique needs, and it plays a key role in helping them reach their personal goals and live a fuller, more empowered life.
Skills Training and Development
Skills Training and Development is a vital support service offered through the Children’s Mental Health Initiative (CMHI). This service focuses on helping children and adolescents (ages 6–17) with serious emotional disturbances (SED) build practical skills that promote emotional growth, positive behavior, and everyday functioning.
Our trained staff work one-on-one with children in their home and community to teach and strengthen skills in areas such as:
Emotional regulation – Learning how to manage strong feelings in healthy ways
Social skills – Practicing positive interactions, communication, and relationship-building
Problem-solving – Developing strategies to handle everyday challenges
Daily living skills – Improving routines, personal care, organization, and responsibility
Coping techniques – Building healthy responses to stress, anxiety, or anger
The goal is to empower each child with tools they can use in real life—at home, in school, and in the community. Through consistent support and practice, children can gain confidence, increase independence, and work toward long-term emotional and behavioral success.
Family Support Training
Family Support Training is a key part of the Children’s Mental Health Wraparound (CMHW) and Children’s Mental Health Initiative programs. It’s designed to help parents, caregivers, and family members build the skills and knowledge they need to support a child with serious emotional or behavioral challenges.
Through this service, trained professionals work directly with families to provide:
Education about mental health needs – helping families better understand their child’s diagnosis and behaviors
Parenting strategies – offering tools to manage challenging behaviors, set healthy boundaries, and build routines
Emotional support – creating a safe space for families to talk, ask questions, and feel heard
Crisis planning and problem-solving – preparing families to respond effectively when challenges arise
Advocacy and resource connection – helping caregivers navigate schools, community supports, and mental health systems
Family Support Training is all about strengthening the entire family system. When families feel informed, supported, and empowered, children are more likely to succeed in their treatment and daily life. This service is personalized to meet each family’s unique needs and plays a vital role in the wraparound approach to care.
