CSED -Children with Serious Emotional Disorder Waiver

The CSED Waiver program offers assistance to children grappling with severe emotional disorders by enabling them to remain with their families in a supportive home environment while accessing necessary services to enhance their well-being. Targeting families with children and youth aged 3 to 21, the program streamlines the process for obtaining waivers, typically taking 3-4 months for qualification. Upon approval, families select a case management provider and a service provider, both sourced from different agencies. Prestera assumes the dual role of case management and service provider for CSED. The comprehensive range of services encompasses multi-disciplinary planning, independent living skills development, job assistance, family therapy, respite care, specialized therapy, community integration, crisis response, peer support, and transportation.
