This week, Thriving Mind hosted a Critical Time Intervention Training for our providers. Pictured are from Thriving Mind: Adilen Cruz, MBA, Vice President of Behavioral Health Services, Yisel Morell, LMHC, Care Coordination Manager, and Derek Moore, LCSW, Peer Services Manager.

Critical Time Intervention (CTI) is a time-limited evidence-based practice that mobilizes support for society’s most vulnerable individuals during periods of transition. It facilitates community integration and continuity of care by ensuring that a person has enduring ties to their community and support systems during these critical periods. CTI has been applied with veterans, people with mental illness, people who have been homeless or in prison, and many other groups.

It's national caregivers month.

As a caregiver, you are part of an important team that helps make sure the children in your care are healthy, learning, and growing. One of the key ways to do this is through keeping track of how children are developing.

Milestones are things children are able to do by a given age—like talking, walking, and playing. All children are different, and every child reaches their milestones on a slightly different schedule. Noticing, watching, and tracking a child’s milestones for their age helps give parents and healthcare providers a better understanding of how a child is learning and growing (and can be a great way to remember and celebrate special moments)!

Our partners at Sesame Street have resources for caregivers. Check out link in bio!
