This module investigates the promise and pitfalls of home-based mental health services for youth. It briefly reviews the theory behind home-based services, then uses two very different examples to examine the effectiveness of these services. The evidence base is reviewed for a rigorously tested, university-developed program (multisystemic therapy) as well as for a community-based program developed by local providers (children’s intensive services in Rhode Island). The module raises questions about how well these programs are meeting their stated objectives, and concludes by summing up the significant challenges that remain in serving children and families.
