Camelot's Florida programs fall into two types of services, Behavioral Health and Child Welfare services. All of Camelot's programs are C.O.A. accredited which means they have met the highest standards for quality.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES

Camelot Community Care offers the following behavioral health services in Florida. Our behavioral health programs work towards the goal of maintaining the client in the least restrictive environment and all of our programs are community based.

Therapeutic Foster Care

This program recruits, trains and licenses specially trained Therapeutic Foster Parents who care for foster children that exhibit behaviors that require a more structured environment along with therapeutic services. Camelot provides oversight, counseling, and therapeutic services to the children in the home and work with the Foster Parents to provide the best environment for these children. Therapeutic Foster Parents receive support from Camelot including training, respite, crisis on call, and a stipend to care for the children in their home.

In-Home Counseling

Camelot's In-Home Counseling Program provides counseling and psychiatric services to clients in their home, school or in the community. Camelot utilizes licensed and master's degreed clinicians who prepare individualized treatment plans and work with the client and their caregivers to maintain them in the least restrictive environment. The level of service provided to each client and/or their family is based upon the individual needs of the client.

Outpatient Counseling

A lower level of care than In-Home Counseling, outpatient counseling is provided in our office locations. Camelot utilizes licensed and master's degreed clinicians who prepare individualized treatment plans and work with the client and/or their caregivers to maintain the client in the least restrictive environment. The level of service provided to each client and/or their family is based upon the individual needs of the client.

Targeted Case Management

This service is provided to clients who meet certain criteria and need a Case Manager to arrange and monitor the multitude of services being provided. Targeted Case Managers serve as an advocate for the client to assure the most appropriate level of service is being provided.

Supported/Enhanced Foster Care

Supported/Enhanced Foster Care is a lower level of care than Therapeutic Foster Care and often serves as a step down from Therapeutic Foster Care. Supported/Enhanced Foster Care Parents typically receive the same training as Therapeutic Foster Parents and can serve both levels of children. It is preferred that as a child steps down through the levels of Therapeutic Foster Care, they be able to remain in the same home. Camelot provides oversight, counseling, and therapeutic services to the children in the home and work with the Foster Parents to provide the best environment for these children. Therapeutic Foster Parents receive support from Camelot including training, respite, crisis on call, and a stipend to care for the children in their home.

Comprehensive Assessments

These are specialized one time assessments that are completed on most children who enter the child welfare system. Camelot utilizes contracted licensed clinicians who are certified by Medicaid to provide this service. The completed assessments are used to determine the service needs of the child and the family.

 

CHILD WELFARE SERVICES

Camelot Community Care is also a leading provider of child welfare services in Florida. The State of Florida has chosen to privatize foster care and related services to private non-profit agencies such as Camelot. The goal of our child welfare programs is to achieve permanency for the children we serve, and if the child remains in the foster care system, to prepare them to live independently upon reaching adulthood.

Child Welfare Lead Agency

Camelot Community Care has been chosen by the Department of Children and Families to be the lead agency for child welfare Services in the Ft, Myers area. The Children's Network of Southwest Florida utilizes a network of providers throughout the community to provide all foster care and related services.

Certified Case Managers work with clients and families to address the reasons for their entering the child welfare system with the goal of reunifying the child with the family. In some cases, the child may not be reunified with the family and in these cases; Camelot works to seek a permanent home for the child through other relatives or adoption.
