Intensive Clinical Services
Intensive Support for Youth and Families
Catholic Charities Hawaiʻi’s Intensive Clinical Services (ICS) program provides comprehensive, community-based mental health support for youth and their families. Our goal is to stabilize crisis situations, strengthen family relationships, and build the skills needed for long-term success — all while preserving the dignity of each child and family we serve.
Intensive In-Home Therapy (IIH)
At the heart of ICS is Intensive In-Home Therapy (IIH), designed for youth ages 3 to 18 who need structured therapeutic intervention within their home and community environments.
- The youth
- Parents and caregivers
- The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD) Mental Health Care Coordinator
- Other members of the treatment team
Together, they develop and implement a strengths-based, individualized treatment plan that supports emotional wellness, safety, and family stability.
Available When Families Need It Most
IIH therapists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for crisis prevention and intervention. Services are delivered wherever the youth and family need support, including:
- Family homes
- Homeless shelters
- Juvenile detention centers
- Schools

Our therapists are trained to de-escalate crisis situations while maintaining the confidentiality, dignity, and respect of the youth and family in every setting.
