There is hope for the future, especially that of children who live in tough situations because of the ican program. This recently launched mental health program is designed to prevent mental health problems in young children who are eligible for Medicaid and Title 19.
These ican programs involve having children work with counselors to build skills for life and work on improving social skills or learn tools for dealing with disrupted relationships. Many of the children and adults being helped by these programs are facing health problems, aggression, types of depression, anxiety and disrupted relationships and poor social skills.
The mental health program is run by Horizons mental health facilities based out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The long term goals of the agency include seeking grants to enable the non-profit organization to offer services of this type to private paying clients.
Many of the clients for ican programs are referred to the mental health facilities through the juvenile court system, project concern and the schools. The programs run through Horizon are really intended to help people and children especially develop the skills they need to deal with the major problems facing them.
For instance, if someone comes into ican complaining of anxiety related issues, the counselors will work with them in classes designed to help them build the skills they need to handle their anxiety.
In addition, the mental health facilities that run ican services also works with other local organizations to really help people develop better lives and deal with mental health problems.
