The RTC Relinquishment Avoidance Project is an overnight residential treatment service for children ages 5 to 17 whose parents have been referred by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Services include weekly individual, group and family counseling provided in a safe, self-contained environment. Religious and relevant cultural opportunities are also offered. Caregivers participate in weekly family therapy sessions in person or by telephone to help resolve problems. While the child is in RTC placement, a case manager and certified family partner at a local mental health authority will work with the caregivers to help the child successfully go back home when treatment is complete.

YES Services Waiver is a 1915© Medicaid program that helps children and youth with serious mental, emotional and behavioral difficulties. YES provides intensive services delivered within a strengths-based team planning process called Wraparound. Wraparound builds on family and community support and utilizes YES services to help build families’ natural support network and connection with community. YES services are family-centered, coordinated and effective at preventing out-of home placement and promoting lifelong independence and self-defined success.
