Care Coordination

High-Fidelity Wraparound (HFW)

High-Fidelity Wraparound (HFW) is a strengths-based approach that helps children and young adults grow up in their homes and communities. It is a planning process that involves a Care Coordinator, the child/young adult, and their family and providers. It can also include friends, teachers, and others who are close and supportive. This group is called a Child and Family Team (CFT). The CFT works together to create a comprehensive Plan of Care. The CFT and Plan of Care help the child/young adult and their family succeed at home and in the community.

Intensive Care Coordination (ICC)

Intensive Care Coordination (ICC) is similar to High-Fidelity Wraparound but is offered to youth who may not have a caregiver, or to youth and families who would prefer a less intensive level of engagement.

Targeted Case Management (TCM)

Targeted Case Management (TCM) is the lowest intensity service that allows youth and their families/caregivers to have a periodic check-in with a care manager while they receive other services under the Connect Nevada program.

Intensive Home-Based Treatment

Intensive Home-Based Treatment (IHBT) is for children/young adults who are at risk of out-of-home (OOH) treatment or returning from OOH treatment. These services are provided at home, at school, and in the community.

IHBT Services
IHBT Services may help with one or more of the following, depending upon the needs of the youth and family

  • Behavioral health assessment and care planning
  • Crisis response, stabilization, and safety planning
  • Psychiatric referral/treatment, if necessary
  • Behavioral health counseling and therapy: individual and family, as necessary
  • Cognitive and emotional coping skill development, with a focus on trauma-informed care
  • Family psychoeducation/skill building (parenting and behavior management)
  • Resilience- and support-building interventions

IHBT Services are offered through community-based agencies that contract with Magellan to provide these services.

Emergency and Planned Respite

Respite gives temporary relief for parents/guardians caring for a child/young adult with mental health needs. It can also help parents/guardians in a situation that can put a child/young adult at risk of out of home treatment or child welfare involvement. Respite can be planned or given during a crisis (emergency).

Emergency respite

Emergency respite is immediate temporary or short-term care for children/young adults. It is for families who are facing a crisis and no other safe childcare options are available. Emergency respite gives parents/guardians immediate stress relief. It can keep a crisis from getting worse. It can also prevent physical or emotional injury to the child/young adult and their family members.

Emergency respite may take place in the home or out of the home. Emergency respite services include linking families to long-term community-based services and supports.

Planned respite

Planned respite is given to parents/guardians on a scheduled basis. Parents/guardians get support services and time to recharge.

Community-based respite

Community-based respite care is given near the child’s or young adult’s home. It can be at places like:

  • Community centers
  • Parks and recreation locations
  • Boys and Girls clubs
  • Art or music classes
  • Other locations with activities that give the child/young adult a positive experience
Self-directed

Self-directed respite is given by a provider the parent/guardian chooses when they are unable to find a community-based provider who can meet their needs. They can choose a trusted friend, neighbor or relative who can care for the child/young adult. Magellan will work with the parent/guardian to train the person to care for the child/young adult.
