Multi-Systemic Therapy is an evidence-based practice aimed at serving justice-involved youth with behavioral health diagnoses. The juvenile treatment program was established locally by EHN to fulfill a gap in children and adolescent services identified in the El Paso Community Behavioral Health Needs Assessment.
The goal is to avoid rearrests and help the youth stay in school. The program builds upon the strengths of the adolescent by utilizing their family, friends and other long-term supports towards recovery. Utilizing these supports ensures that results can be sustained after completion of treatment.
All services are directed toward the adolescent remaining in their natural environment such as home, school and community. Treatment is provided in the youth’s home, as opposed to traditional in-office settings. The model also provides support to parents and guardians in changing the manner in which they supervise youth who are involved in the juvenile justice system.

Through its Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) Program, EHN has mental health providers specially trained in First-Episode Psychosis Treatment. For people who experience psychosis, the first symptoms typically occur between the ages of 15 and 25, yet it is common for a person to have symptoms for several months, sometimes more than a year and not seek treatment. However, reducing this time of untreated psychosis is important for a better recovery.
CSC clients are provided with psychotherapy, family support and education, medication management, supported employment, housing and education, along with case management. The use of Coordinated Specialty Care has shown to be effective at reducing symptoms, improving quality of life and increasing involvement in school.

The Youth Empowerment Services (YES) program is a Medicaid Home and Community Bases service waiver designed to provide home and community-based services to children with serious emotional disturbances and their families, with a goal of reducing or preventing children’s inpatient psychiatric treatment and the consequent removal from their families.
The waiver currently serves eligible children who are at least three years of age and under 19 years of age. It also allows for more flexibility in the funding of intensive services to assist these children. It is beneficial in situations where parents have turned to state custody for care when they feel they have reached or exceeded their financial, emotional, or health care support resources and are unable to cover the costs of their child or adolescent’s mental health treatment.
The services that EHN provides for children and adolescents are family-centered, youth-guided, and developmentally appropriate.
