CTSS

Children's Therapeutic Services & Supports

Rehabilitative mental-health support that helps children build skills to understand and manage emotions and behavior.

What is CTSS?

CTSS is a Minnesota Health Care Programs benefit offering rehabilitative mental-health services for children and youth with a mental-health condition. It helps them develop skills to reduce the effects of their condition and function better at home, in school, and in the community.

Support is built on an individual treatment plan and may include skills training, individual and family psychotherapy, and crisis assistance — delivered in the settings where your child lives and learns.
