Care Coordination Services
Riverside Community Service Agency (CSA) provides both Intensive Care Coordination and Family Support & Training.
Intensive Care Coordination (ICC) provides wrap-around care planning which coordinates multiple services and supports for youth with serious emotional challenges. The Intensive Care Coordinator works closely with the family to ensure they have access to whatever supports and care are most appropriate for their child.
Our Family Partners, who have experience as caregivers of youth with special needs, provide Family Support and Training. The Family Partner works closely with the family’s Intensive Care Coordinator to help the parents or caregivers of the youth by teaching them how to navigate the child-serving systems, identify community supports, develop contacts with support groups, and more.
Services are covered under the Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI) and applicable private insurance.

Family Networks
Riverside’s Family Networks program provides coordination services for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) Cambridge/Burlington Area Office. We support DCF families by contracting with and coordinating the most appropriate services for youth, caregivers, and families. We work collaboratively with those we serve to avoid out-of-home placement, to support youth as they reunite with their families following separation, and to track and support youth in congregate care settings. Referrals must be made through a DCF social worker or supervisor.
Department of Mental Health Flex Program
Riverside’s Department of Mental Health (DMH) Flex teams partner with families to personalize services that can deter out-of-home placement for youth with significant emotional disturbances. Our teams provide treatment to help youths improve self-regulation, enhance emotional well-being, and develop key self-advocacy goals. Assisting parents in supporting the growth and recovery of their child is another important function of the DMH Flex Program.
