B2H

The Bridges to Health (B2H) Waiver Program is designed specifically for children within the foster care system or those in Division of Juvenile Justice and Opportunities for Youth. By supporting children in foster care or DJJOY community services supervision in the least-restrictive home or community setting, the B2H Waiver Program provides opportunities for improving the health and well-being of the children served, and supporting permanency planning. At CHDFS we currently provide services for qualifying individuals in the following B2H Home and Community-Based Waiver Program: B2H for children with serious emotional disturbances (B2H SED) and B2H for children with developmental disabilities (B2H DD).

CHDFS has been offering B2H services since 2009 and we are proudly known for the quality of service and care we provide to children and their families. Through the B2H program, children are served in the least restrictive, most home-like setting possible, involving those in the caregiver network, whenever appropriate––foster family, birth family, and adoptive family members. It is important to establish that B2H services are a complement to other services provided to these children and they do not replace current services.   To learn more about the specific services provided through the B2H Waiver please scroll through the services below.
