Our Programs
REFERRAL FORM
Greater Minnesota Family Services provides an array of community based and residential services in Minnesota. We are experienced providers of home based services. A number of staff have 10 - 20 or more years of experience providing home based services to children and their families. Greater Minnesota Family Services is licensed by the State of Minnesota as a Rule 29 Mental Health Clinic and CTSS provider.
The primary funding mechanism for these services is Medical Assistance (MA), or one of the state prepaid MA plans (PMAPs, such as Primewest, Medica, and Blue Plus). Families eligible for MA are able to access these services for their child and family, and the services take place in their own home, school, or community progam rather than a typical outpatient clinic setting. Therapeutic interventions are most effective when developed and implemented in the very setting where they are to be worked on.
For more information, contact Greater Minnesota Family Services or your county social services agency and inquire about Home, School, or Community Based Services through Greater Minnesota Family Services.
