Newpath Child and Family Solutions

Outpatient:the outpatient mental health program is the largest service line within Newpath, with many staff members providing therapy and case management services to over 3,000 children, youth, and families throughout a multi-county region in southwest Ohio. We are able to promote immediate access to care by offering an initial visit with a provider on an average of 14 days after the admission to the agency, which is well below the industry standard of 30 days.

Education / day treatment:in the last year, the specialized education and day treatment program saw a grade equivalency increase in academic performances, across k-12, of over 90% in reading, math, and writing. In addition, 96% of students are making "some" to "great" progress in daily activities and social skill building as evidenced by the daily living activities-20 assessment, which is a research backed outcomes measurement tool.

Residential treatment:our residential treatment programs provide needed care to clients requiring in patient, residential care. This program saw a significant decrease in physical interventions this year, indicating decreased risk to these youth.

Medication management:medication management clinic (mmc) offers psychiatric services to children, adolescents, and their families ages 3 and up in southwestern Ohio. The clinic serves individuals who are active in other services within Newpath Child & Family Solutions, as well as individuals who are assessed to only need ongoing psychopharmacological management in order to maintain the stability they have achieved. The qualified prescriber team is made up of licensed, board certified medical doctors and nurse practitioners. Mmc team members collaborate with internal and external partners including outpatient clinicians, primary care offices, and substance use disorder treatment centers to ensure the overall medical needs of individuals are being addressed to promote the best outcomes. A client's progress is closely monitored throughout treatment to assess readiness for discharge or transition to primary care for ongoing management once medication stability is reached. A variety of processes have been put in place in order to promote safe medication use and reduce risks of abuse and overdose.

Foster care:our foster care program is a therapeutic foster program serves children from birth to 21 who have been abused or neglected and in need of a safe stable home. We have a network of foster families who provide therapeutic and traditional foster care homes who can service children who have emotional and/or behavioral problems. We provide Child welfare and mental health case management services for the children and each foster home has an assigned licensed home assessor.
