Anxiety Disorder Treatment serving Greenwich CT, Madison NJ, Palm Beach County FL, and surrounding areas

Anxiety Expertise
At Anxiety Institute, the sole focus is treating clients with anxiety and related disorders. We use only evidence-based techniques informed by research firmly based in the medical sciences. Our team has the specialized training and experience to achieve superior outcomes for our clients.

Guidance Pre-Admission
Our anxiety expertise is apparent from the first point of inquiry. Since many prospective clients are dispirited by prior experiences with therapy, the admissions team provides much-needed help and hope in getting reticent clients to believe they can confront and conquer their fears. Admissions will assess your child to help your family make an informed choice for appropriate placement.

Individual Attention
Our unique approach provides more individual attention for clients compared to other acute anxiety programs. Each client receives ten hours a week of individualized treatment in our intensive day program. A lead clinician is dedicated to your child, serving a maximum of three clients at any given time. This contrasts with typical intensive outpatient programs that predominantly offer group therapy sessions with clinicians managing a caseload of ten or more clients.

Customized Treatment Plans
Due to our focus on each individual and their family, treatment plans are more customized than other intensive programs. Each treatment plan is unique to the individual as opposed to dictated by a standardized group curriculum, typically at the core of most intensive programs.

Exposure Focused CBT Model
Our professionally trained clinical team utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as its core modality, incorporating second and third-wave CBT treatments, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Our approach employs daily Exposure Therapy which allows clients to gradually confront their fears, rewiring their brain by desensitizing the anxiety response. While other programs often teach only coping skills, Anxiety Institute focuses on mediating both short-term and enduring solutions.

Treatment in Your Local Home Environment
Anxiety Institute's intensive outpatient treatment integrates the client's local academic and social activities into their treatment plan, facilitating a more rapid and successful reintegration into their lives.

Parent Partnership
We provide parent coaching, support, and psychoeducation to facilitate and sustain recovery. Parents and their children learn new skills together, improving family dynamics and breaking the cycle of accommodation and avoidance.

Our Client Base
Due to our specialization, the typical client cohort has a similar profile - bright, good-natured, high functioning adolescents and young adults who rely on avoidance and procrastination as their coping strategies for fear and anxiety.

Programs

Confronting anxiety in teens involves much more than just treating the individual. Our distinctive programs combine services that integrate all aspects of life to deliver the most effective and enduring recovery possible.

​Welcome to the Anxiety Treatment Center of Greenwich. The center was founded by Jill Vaughan Tesei and Maryellen Pachler Kennell and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents.

Anxiety is the number one mental health problem in America, and affects 1 in 8, or 13%, of our youth. Anxiety disorders are characterized by persistent, irrational and overwhelming worry and fear. Symptoms can vary from patient to patient, but often include irritability, sleeplessness, jitteriness, as well as physical symptoms such as headaches and stomachaches. Ultimately they can cause significant distress and affect how the brain operates, impairing social, academic, and family functioning. This can prevent children from making friends, maintaining relationships or participating in school, social and extracurricular activities.

While feeling ashamed, afraid, alone and angry are common reactions to anxiety, research shows that, if left untreated, children with anxiety disorders are likely to also develop additional anxiety disorders, predilection to substance abuse, depression, and other mental illnesses. Anxiety disorders can co-occur with other psychiatric disorders such as depression, eating disorders, and ADHD.

Thankfully there are several options and approaches to treating and alleviating the symptoms associated with anxiety, especially if diagnosed early. If you've recognized these symptoms or characteristics in your children, please call The Anxiety Treatment Center of Greenwich at 203.769.1365 to learn more.

Do you have the sense that things could be better?

Are you not quite sure how to get there from here?

We all have moments of feeling stuck in our lives, meaning that we are not progressing forward in an area of our life in which we would like

to see positive change. We can feel stuck in our process of personal growth, in our relationships, in our parenting or in our professional lives. We can also feel stuck or bogged down in emotional states such as nagging anxiety, depressed mood or a sense of doom about the future. Seeking therapy is a positive step towards regaining forward momentum in your life. Together we can work to get you "unstuck" and feeling better about the direction of your life and your relationships.

​Stressful life events and life transitions (becoming a parent, parenting a teen, divorce, death of a loved one, empty nest, geographic relocation or losing a job etc.) can also leave us feeling stuck and in need of non-judgmental support. We are here to listen to your concerns in a safe and supportive environment and to work together with you to regain the inner strength and the tools that you need to move forward and achieve your personal or family goals.

The office is located at 30 Myano Lane, (Suite 20, 2 floor) in Stamford, CT.

Kate Vivanco, EdM, LCSW ​

(Licensed Clinical Social Worker) has a Masters in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University and a Masters in Clinical Social Work from Catholic University. Her undergraduate degree is from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.

Kate began her social work career in a bilingual clinic in Washington, DC and then at Family Centers in Stamford, CT. Kate has been in private practice for twelve years. She works with older adolescents and adults. Particular areas of strength for Kate include human development and identity formation, parent guidance, depression, anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD and trauma related to transnational migration. Her approach is eclectic, drawing on psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness and other techniques, always with a human development perspective in mind. Kate is trained in EMDR for trauma therapy and the Recent Traumatic Event Protocol EMDR intervention to help prevent PTSD. Kate is also a fluent Spanish speaker.

The therapy session is your space, and you deserve to feel supported and challenged by a therapist with whom you feel comfortable. Kate strives to create such an environment in each therapy session.

Payment is expected at the end of each session. Cash, personal check, money order. Please feel free to discuss with your therapist any concerns regarding finances in the course of treatment. If the client is an adolescent, then all financial concerns are to be discussed between the parent and the therapist.

We respect your privacy and adhere strictly to the NASW Code of Ethics and all HIPAA guidelines.

If you need to cancel an appointment please do so in advance. We reserve your 50 minute session specifically for you. Therefore, it is essential that you try to let us know as soon as possible when you will not be able to come to your reserved session. A full fee (or your sliding scale fee) will be charged for no-show or late cancellations.

Lorenzo J. Colón Munroe, LCSW

(Licensed Clinical Social Worker) graduated from Fordham University where he earned his Masters of Social Work degree. Subsequently, he embarked on a three-year post-graduate course of study with the New Hope Guild Child and Adolescent Therapy Training Program, where he graduated as a Child and Adolescent psychotherapist. In 1996, he earned his LCSW in the state of Connecticut. While in Connecticut, he became certified as a supervisor in the Field Instruction for graduate social work students. Prior to his studies in social work and child and adolescent psychotherapy, Lorenzo earned two other masters degrees: Masters of Divinity from the Maryknoll School of Theology in Ossining, New York, and a Masters of Arts in Sacred Liturgy from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

​Lorenzo has worked as a Bi-lingual School Social Worker for the New York City Board of Education and as a Psychiatric Clinical Social Worker at a child guidance clinic, and as a Clinical Social Worker in a family service organization, both in Connecticut. He has provided numerous services to Latino Community in New York City, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC and Connecticut. In 2005 he retired from the faculty of the New York Institute for Psychotherapy Training in Infancy, Childhood and Adolescence, based in New York City.

​In July 2005 Lorenzo established Munroe Therapies & Consultation to promote his ongoing practice of psychotherapy to disenfranchised children and youth and their right to access quality mental health services. As part of his present practice Lorenzo also consults to child-nurturing organizations.

It is our hope to be able to accommodate your schedule as much as possible, so please contact us to discuss your scheduling needs. Some evening appointments are available. In most cases, after the initial session, we will decide how frequently to meet (usually weekly) and will determine a regular time for your sessions.

The office is located at 30 Myano Lane (Suite 20, 2 floor) in Stamford, CT. To request services, call the office at 203-883-8135 and press *1 for English and leave a massage for any of the therapists.

This is a convenient location for Stamford, Greenwich and Darien. The office is located close to 95 exits 5 & 6, and it is on the Stamford/Greenwich border close to supermarkets, bus stop, route 11a, 11b, 13a, 13b and ample parking.

From Darien and points north: Take 95 South to exit 6. At the bottom of the exit ramp turn right onto West Avenue. Turn left onto West Main St. and proceed through 2 traffic lights. Myano Lane on your right just after the second traffic light. Parking is on the side of the building Myano Lane.

From Greenwich and points south: Take 95 North to exit 6 and turn left onto West St. Follow above directions from West Avenue. Or take Route 1 (Old post Road) north towards Stamford. Just after crossing to Stamford, Myano Lane comes up on your left.

From Downtown Stamford: Take Route 1/West Main St. Towards Greenwich. Myano Lane comes up on your right just after the Super Stop

& Shop. Turn right on to Myano Lane for parking.

Some clients wonder how long they will be in therapy. The duration of treatment is something to be determined by the therapist and client depending on your goals and the progress of the work. Usually we will need a few initial sessions to assess your goals before talking about a timeline. But it is important to remember that your session is your time and you are the expert in your own needs and successes. While you may terminate therapy at any time, it is best to discuss it with us a few weeks in advance, as termination is an important phase of therapy and can be a very valuable process.

More than 44 million people in the United States suffer from mental health disorders, according to the American Psychological Association.  In the past century, the medical profession has begun to take seriously mental and emotional wellbeing.  There are various types of interventions for mental and emotional health problems including psychotherapy, psychiatry and a combination of the two, among others.

How It Works

The Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) helps Connecticut residents afford to heat their homes. Applications for CEAP typically take 30-45 minutes. Basic benefits towards your heating bill range between $100 to $600 depending on your income level, household size and whether there is a vulnerable member in the household. These benefits are usually paid directly to your utility company or fuel supplier. Households that heat with deliverable fuels like oil or propane may be eligible for additional fuel deliveries.

CEAP recipients may also be eligible for matching payment plans, protection from shut-offs, and replacement and/or repairs for h eating equipment and water heater(s).

The program is administered by Connecticut's Department of Social Services in partnership with local Community Action Agencies (CAAs) throughout the state.

A virtual public hearing with the Appropriations, Human Services and Energy and Technology Committees was held on Monday, August 29, 2022 where the FFY 2023 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Amendment to the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program block grant allocation plans were approved.

Overview

The financial assistance programs provide income support to individuals and families to meet their basic needs while encouraging their maximum degree of independence. The programs are:

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program was signed into law on August 22, 1996. This federal legislation provides block grants to states to fund programs that provide services and benefits to needy families. TANF was designed to give states flexibility to operate programs that serve one of the following purposes:

Provides assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives

Ends the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work and marriage

Prevents and reduces the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and establishes annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies

Encourages the formation and maintenance of two parent families

In Connecticut, TANF funds the Temporary Family Assistance program, Safety Net, Employment Services and many other programs and services for needy families. For a description of all of the programs and services funded by TANF, please go to our TANF State Plan .

Jobs First Temporary Family Assistance (TFA) provides cash assistance to families. For families with an employable adult, there is a 21-month lifetime limit for the receipt of TFA. Families in which there is no employable adult have no limit to the duration of the benefits. Eligibility is based on income being lower than a set standard and assets being below limits. Earned income of recipients of TFA that are working are not counted until they are equal to the federal poverty level. They are thus allowed to keep all earnings up to the federal poverty level as well as the cash assistance benefit. Families are allowed to have up to $3,000 in a bank account, and life insurance policies and pension plans are excluded. The equity value of an automobile in excess of $9,500 counts towards the asset limit. The amount of assistance varies depending on which of three regions of the state they live in. The assistance for a family of three in the most populous region is $500 per month if in subsidized housing, $543 if not. Adults in the family are subject to digital imaging of their fingerprints to prevent receipt of duplicate assistance.

Families subject to the time limit may qualify for six-month extensions to the limit if they have good cause for being unemployed or underemployed (earning less than the TFA benefit) at the end of the 21-month period, or any extension.

Minor parents are required to live with a parent, stepparent, or legal guardian. If there is good reason why the minor parent cannot live with one of these, then the minor must reside with an adult relative or in an adult-supervised living arrangement.

Jobs First Employment Services (ES) are designed to rapidly move recipients of TFA into employment and toward self-sufficiency. Priority is given to families subject to the 21-month time limit and all such families are required to participate in employment services. Jobs First uses a workforce attachment model, with employment being the immediate goal of the participant and job search is generally required before any other services are made available. Child care and transportation assistance is available for families participating in activities that will lead to employment.

Child care assistance is available to TFA recipients who need child care to accept or retain employment. Such assistance continues until the family's income reaches 75% of the state's median income level.

Families receiving TFA are eligible for medical assistance under Medicaid. Such assistance continues for at least two years following ineligibility for TFA if a member of the family was working at the time, or if a family member went to work within six months of ineligibility for TFA.

How to Access Cash and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Benefits (after enrollment).
State Supplement Cash Assistance
The State Supplement Cash Assistance program provides cash assistance to the Aged, Blind, or Disabled to supplement their income and maintain them at a standard of living established by the State Legislature. In order to receive benefits, individuals must have another source of income such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, or Veterans' benefits. To qualify as aged, and individual must be 65 years of age or older; to qualify as disabled, an individual must be between the ages of 18 and 65 and meet the disability criteria of the federal Social Security Disability Insurance program; and to qualify as blind, an individual must meet the criteria of the Social Security Disability program, or the State Board of Education and Services for the Blind.

The program is funded entirely by state funds, but operates under both state and federal law and regulation. Incentives are available to encourage recipients to become as self-supporting as their ages or abilities will allow. State Supplement program payments also promote a higher degree of self-sufficiency by enabling recipients to remain in non-institutional living arrangements. People eligible for State Supplement are automatically eligible for Medicaid.

Liquid assets cannot exceed $1,600 for a single person or $2,400 for a couple. If a recipient owns a home, a lien is placed upon it.
For information on applying, please follow this link. **New State Supplement Application Process For Rated Housing Providers at DSS**
To better serve our applicants and providers, effective August 1, 2015, DSS has realigned our three Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Application Centers.

Application packets with as much of the required documentation that is available at the time of submission should be mailed directly to the appropriate LTSS Application Processing Center, beginning August 1.
State Administered General Assistance (SAGA) Cash Assistance
Through the SAGA Cash Assistance program, the Department provides cash assistance to individuals who are unable to work for medical or other prescribed reasons.

Employable individuals are not eligible for SAGA cash assistance. However, employable individuals who have substance abuse problems may be eligible to receive treatment and some financial support through the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services' (DMHAS) Basic Needs Program. You can get information about the Basic Needs Program by calling toll-free 1-800-658-4472.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - SNAP

Eligibility

​

Income Limits
To receive SNAP benefits in Connecticut, household income and other resources have to be under certain limits and are reviewed. For some households, there is also an asset limit.

The income standards for SNAP are based the federal poverty levels (FPL). All income standards listed in the following table below are monthly figures. There are gross and net income limits. The gross income limit is equal to 185% of the current Federal Poverty Level and is the amount of income the household has before taxes and deductions. The gross income limit applies to most households. The gross income limit does not apply to households in which at least one person is 60 years of age or older, or receives disability income. However, all households subject to a monthly net income limit. The net income limit is equal to the current Federal Poverty Level and is the amount left over after certain deductions are allowed. These deductions are established by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. Details can be found on their website at http://www.fns.usda.gov/SNAP/

Effective October 1, 2020, the gross monthly income limits and net monthly income limits are as listed below.
Asset Limits
There is no asset limit EXCEPT for households whose gross income is more than 185% of the Federal Poverty Level. For those households, total assets including cash, savings accounts, stocks and bonds cannot be more than $3500. We do not include the home the client lives in as an asset, nor do we put a lien on the home. We also do not count vehicles or retirement accounts, such as IRAs. Again, these asset limits only apply to households whose gross income is more than 185% of the Federal Poverty Level.

A "household" is all the people who live together and buy and prepare food together. Once a household meets the eligibility requirements, we calculate the amount of the household's SNAP benefit based on the household's income and certain allowable deductions for shelter, dependent care expenses, medical costs and child support payments to others outside the household. Shelter costs are rent and mortgage payments, heating or cooling not included in rent, and utility and monthly telephone services charges.
SNAP Benefit Amounts
The recently passed Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 increased the maximum and minimum SNAP allotments households are eligible to receive. This increase is in effect from January 1, 2021 - June 30, 2021. The maximum SNAP benefit amounts are listed in the table below.

For more information about income limits and benefit amounts for households of 8 or more, or for any other information about SNAP, please call 1-855-626-6632.

The Birth to Three System is part of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) Part C "Early Intervention." In Connecticut, community-based programs support families to enhance their child's development and connect to their communities.

If you're looking for information specific to COVID-19, please visit this Birth to Three page on COVID-19.

Who's eligible for Birth to Three services?

Children in Connecticut are eligible if they are under 3 years old and either:

Have a significant developmental delay based on a standardized test, or

Have a diagnosis of a medical condition that's likely to result in a developmental delay

Anyone can make a referral, but families must consent to the eligibility evaluation. Most families are referred to Birth to Three by their child's primary health care provider but this isn't required.

How do Birth to Three teams determine if a child is eligible?

A professional evaluation team meets with the parent and child where the family lives. Together, they evaluate the child's strengths and needs, often using one or more standardized tests.

The team - which includes a parent - will evaluate all areas of development, regardless of the reason for the referral. These areas include:

Cognitive skills - problem solving, memory, learning

Communication skills - understanding and expressing ideas, following directions, pointing, talking

Social or emotional behaviors - relationships and expressing emotions

Physical development - seeing, hearing, movements and health

Adaptive skills - self-help or daily living skills

If a child is 16 months or older, they will also be screened for autism.

What kinds of supports do Birth to Three programs provide?

Each family with an eligible child will be offered an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) that is tailored to the family's priorities and daily activities. Supports are offered using:

Service coordination

Coaching as a style of interaction

Natural learning environment practices

A primary service provider approach to teaming

Teams can include practitioners from a variety of disciplines as needed to address the family's outcomes for their children, including:

Speech-language pathology

Developmental therapy (teachers)

Physical therapy

Occupational therapy

Social work

Early Intervention supports are usually provided in the home, but they can also be provided in childcare settings or other settings that are natural for the child and family.

Do families pay for Birth to Three supports?

Almost all of the cost of Birth to Three System is paid for by state and federal dollars including Medicaid. The evaluation, assessments, IFSP development, and service coordination are available to all families at no cost.

Families that make $45,000 or more pay a monthly fee based on a sliding scale for the supports listed on their IFSP.

For more information, visit the Birth to Three website or call 1-800-505-7000.

Adolescent
Inpatient Services

"I hope to use my coping skills when I leave so I can go far in life. This was a great learning experience for me."

Four Winds Saratoga is one of the leading providers of child and adolescent mental health services in the Northeast. There are two adolescent inpatient units on our campus. The Polaris unit typically serves younger adolescents and the Freshwater unit serves older adolescents. Each home-like cottage is staffed with a professional, multi-disciplinary treatment team, under the supervision of a child and adolescent psychiatrist.

This comprehensive program addresses adolescent psychiatric problems, including: depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, social isolation, and physical and sexual abuse.

While a broad range of emotional and behavioral difficulties are treated, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan based upon his or her needs. Treatment integrates individual, group and family therapies with a full complement of educational, expressive and recreational therapies.

Adolescents participate in insight-oriented individual therapy, behavioral therapy, and group therapies, as well as a range of expressive therapies. Patients attend skill-building groups where an emphasis is placed on learning positive social skills, conflict resolution and mutual respect.

Working with each child's family or support system is a major focus of treatment. Families are actively involved in treatment planning, family therapy and discharge planning.

For More Information

For more information and a sample schedule, please consult the Adolescent Inpatient Service's most frequently asked questions. This information can provide a greater understanding of an adolescent's experience in the hospital.For

Stamford Advocate - Lighthouse offers a beacon to LGBTQ teens in Greenwich, Stamford
" I'm so incredibly proud of my dear friend and mentor Joe Belisle for all of the amazing work he is doing at Kids In Crisis. Rainbow Cafe, which has evolved into Lighthouse, was such an invaluable resource for me as a queer youth trying to navigate high school. More importantly, though, it was integral in helping me develop my own unique identity, and it gave me a community I am so proud to be a part of as well as some truly incredible lifelong friendships. Thank you Joe, Debbie, and Kids in Crisis for the unwavering support you continue to provide LGBTQ youth in our community❤️" - Jessie, 22 year old former Lighthouse member.

These meals are then delivered to multiple schools across Greenwich and Stamford. A refrigerator or freezer is placed in each school, allowing students to access and microwave these nutritious meals after school, or take them home nightly or for the weekend. This initiative ensures that no child will go hungry, and can enjoy a healthy, nutritious meal at no cost to their family. The program currently serves 450 students.

Overview
Additional SNAP benefits coming February 18 to 117,000 Connecticut households
The Connecticut Department of Social Services today announced that it will provide $19 million in Emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) benefits to more than half of Connecticut's SNAP-eligible households on Thursday, February 18. The benefits add to the more than $197.4 million in emergency benefits that have been disbursed since the start of the pandemic ten months ago.

Authorized by the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020, the extra food benefits will go to approximately 117,000 households that are not currently receiving the maximum benefits allowed for their household size. This means that all households enrolled in SNAP will receive the maximum food benefit allowable for their household size, even if they are not usually eligible for the maximum benefit.

Specifically:

Approximately 117,000 of 215,623 SNAP-participating households statewide will receive the emergency benefits in February.

With this additional $19 million allocation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, emergency benefits are totaling over $216.4 million in additional SNAP assistance statewide during April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December 2020; and January and February 2021, with commensurate spending in the food economy.

The average emergency benefit amount a household will see on its electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card on February 18 is $155.77.

All participating households also received their normal SNAP benefits, including the previously announced 15 percent increase from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 on the first three days of each month they normally do, according to last name.

If a household is granted regular SNAP benefits on or after February 18 and is also eligible for the emergency supplemental benefits, the latter benefits will be added to the EBT card on a Friday, depending on the date of granting.

As outlined in President Biden's January 22, 2021, executive order, the USDA is considering new guidance that would allow states to increase SNAP emergency benefit allocations for those households currently not eligible to receive it. Until this guidance is received, the state is only able to provide emergency benefits to those households not currently receiving the maximum benefit for their household size.

Emergency benefits allowed the household's SNAP benefit to increase to the maximum allotment for a household of that size as follows:

Each additional person: add $176

For example, if a household of two normally received $330 of SNAP benefits in February, $100 would bring this household up to the maximum benefit for its size. This household will receive a $100 emergency benefit on February 18.

UPDATED! December 23, 2020 Expansion of online purchasing of food with SNAP benefits; ALDI joins Amazon, Walmart and ShopRite--The Department of Social Services (DSS) is pleased to announce the expansion of its Online Purchasing Pilot to include 27 ALDI stores throughout Connecticut, in partnership with online grocery platform Instacart. As part of this new program, DSS SNAP participants in Connecticut will be able to shop from ALDI via the Instacart online site and mobile app.

Once an Instacart customer profile is created at www.instacart.com or on the Instacart mobile app, customers can enter their EBT food card information as a form of payment in their profile. SNAP enrollees will be able to place food orders online by using the identifying numbers on their EBT cards and individually selected PINs.

Customers can then enter their zip code to determine if they are near a participating ALDI store, and begin shopping and selecting items from ALDI's EBT SNAP-eligible products. Once items are added to their cart, customers will be able to select how much of their benefits they would like to allocate to the order.

ALDI delivery and pickup via Instacart will be available daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Orders for delivery and pickup can be placed by customers for to be receivedas quickly as within an hour, or scheduled for days in advance.

ALDI's delivery service via Instacart now joins three other food retailers- Amazon, Walmart and ShopRite--to offer online purchasing of food with SNAP benefits in Connecticut.

Retailers now approved for online SNAP purchasing are 27 ALDI Stores in Connecticut (pleasefor list); A mazon, including Amazon Pantry and Amazon Fresh; 12 Walmart stores (please for list); and Wakefern Food Corp., with 21 participating ShopRite stores (please for list).

Online contact points are www.instacart.com/help/section/360009947632; www.amazon.com/snap-ebt; www.walmart.com/grocery; and https://shoprite.com/Store-Locator
For FAQ, please click here.
Please note: only SNAP benefits on EBT cards can be used for online purchases. At this time, cash assistance benefits on EBT cards cannot be used for any part of online shopping, including shipping, delivery or service fees. Customers will need a secondary form of payment for non-food items, such as taxes, tips and fees, per federal SNAP guidelines.

While federal rules do not allow any SNAP benefits to be used for shipping, delivery or service fees, some food retailers may choose to waive fees, if applicable. To help subsidize costs for EBT SNAP beneficiaries, during a 90-day period starting December 16, 2020, Instacart (representing ALDI) will w aive delivery and/or pickup fees on up to the first three EBT SNAP orders for each customer with a valid EBT card associated with their Instacart account. After this period, online shopping customers using SNAP benefits must use another means of payment for any fees and/or any non-SNAP-eligible items they wish to purchase.

Customary shipping/delivery fees are:

Instacart pickup fees are $1.99 and delivery starts at $3.99.

ShopRite has a $10 service fee and a separate delivery fee.

Walmart fees vary between $7.95 and $9.95 (or a flat fee of $98/year).

Amazon waives delivery fees for orders over $35 with free 2-day shipping for Prime members. For non-Prime members, orders of $25 or more of receive free shipping in 5-8 business days.

SNAP benefits are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), which also regulates which foods are eligible for purchase with the benefits. FNS is the authorizing agency for food retailers participating in the program.

UPDATED November 17, 2020--Special measures to assist SNAP enrollees during the Covid-19 public health emergency Elderly Simplified Application Project (ESAP) Overview

No Periodic Review Forms--we are suspending the requirement to submit Periodic Review Forms (PRFs) for all SNAP enrollees from December 2020 through June 2021. This means that you will not be receiving PRFs in the mail to fill out during this time period.

Automatic renewals for six months-we are automatically extending eligibility for SNAP enrollees whose normal annual certification is scheduled to end in November or December 2020. In other words, you will not have to go through a renewal process, and your eligibility will be extended six months (to May or June 2021). Please note: SNAP enrollees whose eligibility was previously extended will still need to go through the renewal process. We will send you a notice when you need to take any action to keep your SNAP eligibility.

The Department of Social Services is pleased to announce a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) demonstration project for older adults and those with disabilities. Once enrolled in SNAP, eligible households qualifying for the Elderly Simplified Application Project (ESAP) will experience additional flexibilities to support continued enrollment.

Flexibilitiesin ESAP include:

An expanded three-year SNAP certification period of eligibility;

No periodic report formwill be due halfway through the certification cycle, as is usually the case for SNAP enrollees;

Revised reporting requirements (explained in greater detail below); and

The opportunity for some relaxed renewal flexibilities, when households meet additional requirements.

ESAP Eligibility Criteria:

All adult (18 years or older) household members must be determined elderly (60years or older) or with a disability, per SNAP regulations and

No household members can be employed (i.e., receive countable earned income).

Revised Reporting Requirements:

Please note that ESAP-eligible SNAP households need to report information to DSS before their renewal is due if they experience a household change that would disqualify them from ESAP(for example, if the household no longer includes an older adult or adult with disability, or if they start working). All SNAP households must report if they receive lotto/gambling winnings equal to or in excess of $3,500.

SNAP Definition of a Disability:

An individual who meets one or more of the following:

Receives disability or blindness benefits from any of these programs: Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, or SSI-related Medicaid.

Receives a federally or state administered SSI supplement based on disability or blindness, or section 212(a) of PL 93-66.
Receives a disability retirement benefit from a government agency for adisability considered permanent by SSA.

Is a veteran the VA considers totally disabled or permanently housebound or in need of regular aid and attendance.

Is a veteran's surviving spouse who the VA considers:

in need of regular aid and attendance,

permanently housebound, or

approved for benefits because of the veteran's death and has a disability considered permanent by SSA.

Is a veteran's surviving child who the VA considers:

incapable of self-support, or

approved for benefits because of the veteran's death and has a disability considered permanent by SSA

receives interim assistance benefits pending the receipt of Supplemental Security Income, receives disability related medical assistance under title XIX of the Social Security Act, or receives disability-based State general assistance (SAGA) benefits that the eligibility to receive any of these benefits is based upon disability or blindness criteria established by the State agency which are at least as stringent as those used under title XVI of the Social Security Act.

ESAP is designed to increase the efficiency of SNAP and reduce food insecurity among a population whose household circumstances generally stay the same and can have additional barriers associated with age or disability, such as transportation or mobility. The Connecticut Department of Social Services was approved for this demonstration project by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, the agency that administers and funds SNAP nationwide. We look forward to serving you! [updated 10-30-20]

Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) - The Department of Social Services (DSS), in collaboration with the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), received approval to operate this program in response to the COVID-19 related school closures for the 2019 - 2020 school year. P-EBT provides food supports to help families with children who were receiving free and reduced-price school meals pay for food. For more information please follow this link.

The Medical Home initiative is the Title V program in Connecticut. Children & youth ages 0-21 who have or are at risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children or youth generally.

With funding from the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health, the Connecticut Medical Home Initiative for Children & Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) works to assure that policies and programs are in place to guarantee that children have access to coordinated quality health care services.

A Medical Home is not a building, house or hospital, but an approach to providing comprehensive primary care. In a medical home, the health care provider works in partnership with children, youth and their families to make sure that all the medical and related needs are meet. Through this partnership, they can help the family access coordinated special care, educational services, in- and out-of-home care, family support, and other public and private services that are important for the overall health of the whole family.

In Connecticut there are three parts to the initiative: Care Coordination, Respite, and Extended Service Funding. Care Coordination is available at 5 regional sites. FAVOR provides eligibility information on respite services and extended services funding for medical equipment and other goods and services like prescription medications and nutritional support.

NEMT- Non-emergent Medical Transportation through HUSKY

NEMT- Non-emergent Medical Transportation through HUSKY

# data[].attributes.body
The Connecticut DSS NEMT Program is an important service that provides a way for Medicaid members and Covered CT enrollees throughout our State to get to their medical appointments when they have no other means of transportation.

Medical Transportation Management (MTM) is the current broker for arranging rides. Please contact MTM at 1-855-478-7350 for assistance with your medical transportation.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are multiple kinds of transportation available:

Public Transit. If the member lives close enough to a bus stop and is physically able to ride the bus, a bus pass may be provided.

Mileage Reimbursement. If a family member or friend has a car and is able to drive the member to their appointment, the driver may be eligible to be reimbursed based on the total miles driven.

If the member is not able to ride the bus or get a ride, Veyo will schedule a ride for the member with an appropriate vehicle based on their medical and transportation needs. This may be one of the following options:

Car/Vehicle or Rideshare Vehicle

Wheelchair Van

Another approved form of transportation

A healthcare provider will need to fill out a Medical Necessity Form explaining why the member is unable to take public transportation. This form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms.

You can find out more information about buses and public transportation at the Department of Transportation's website at https://portal.ct.gov/DOT/Publictrans/Bureau-of-Public-Transportation/Local-Bus-Service

Members can go to any provider they choose that is in the network. However, transportation can only be provided to the closest appropriate Medicaid covered service provider within the member's local community. In some cases, the member may be able to get a ride to a provider who is further away. A Medical Necessity Form may be required to be filled out by their medical, dental, or behavioral healthcare provider in order to schedule a ride.

The Medical Necessity Form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms

Veyo does not cover rides to pick up prescriptions or medical equipment that does not need to be fitted.

You may be sharing a ride with another member who is traveling to and from the same area as you. Shared rides with other Medicaid members are allowed. If there are special health circumstances which prevent you from sharing a ride with other individuals, please tell Veyo when you call to schedule your ride. Your healthcare provider will need to note this on the Medical Necessity Form to communicate to Veyo that you should not be scheduled for a shared ride. This form can be found at https://ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms/.

If your ride is late, you can call Veyo at 855-478-7350, prompt #4 to ask for an update on your driver's estimated time of arrival (ETA).

If there is a snowstorm or bad weather, check with your healthcare provider to make sure their office is open. If you do not feel it is safe to travel, call Veyo's Call Center 855-478-7350 as soon as possible to cancel your ride.

If your town cancels school for the day or has early dismissal due to weather, children will not be transported to after-school treatment programs if the schools in the town they live in are closed or the schools in the town the program is located in are closed.

Every effort is made to continue to operate transportation services during bad weather, however, delays and cancellations may occur due to unsafe travel conditions. Because safety is Veyo's top priority, we ask members and drivers to reschedule trips if they do not feel it is safe to be on the road.

You, your healthcare provider, or caregiver can make a complaint through Veyo's website at ct.ridewithveyo.com/contact or by phone at 877-558-2437. A complaint can be about many different things like an extremely late pick-up, the condition of the vehicle you rode in, the behavior of another passenger, or the courtesy of Veyo's Call Center agents.

Please have the following information ready to help Veyo's compliance team in their investigation:

Your first name

Your last name

Your Medicaid ID #

The date of your trip

A description of the problem

Any additional information that can help us investigate the issue

After submitting a complaint, you will receive a call or written response within one to three business days depending on the type of complaint. You must also ask for a call back if you would like to receive one.

You can request a ride by calling Veyo at 855-478-7350 Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM EST.

For bus passes, please call at least 5 business days before your scheduled appointment. Additional time is needed for bus passes to be delivered to you.

If you qualify for mileage reimbursement, a car, or a wheelchair vehicle, please call at least 2 business days before your scheduled appointment.

If you're a facility looking to schedule a ride for a member, please 855-478-7350 or visit ct.ridewithveyo.com/facilities to book multiple trips at once.

Transportation for routine appointments can be scheduled up to 30 days in advance.

Repeating trips can be scheduled up to 180 days in advance.

If the trip request is received with less than 2 business days notice, and the appointment is not urgent, you may need to reschedule your appointment.

When scheduling your trip, please keep in mind that the driver may drop you off at the healthcare facility right at your scheduled appointment time. If it is a large facility or you need to arrive before the appointment time, please make sure to factor this in when scheduling the trip.

When you call Veyo to schedule transportation, please be sure to have the following information available:

Medicaid ID #

First and Last Name

Date of Birth

Phone Number where you can be reached

Pick-Up Address, Including Apartment Number

Appointment Date

Appointment Time

Provider / Facility Name

Address of Appointment, Including Office or Suite Number

If Appointment Is Repeating

Mode of Transportation Being Requested

Special Accommodations (e.g. oxygen tank, no multi-loading)

Companion or Attendant Information

If the return time for an appointment is not known at the time of reservation, Veyo will assign the trip as a "will-call" trip. In this case, please call Veyo at 855-478-7350 when you are ready for your ride home. We will dispatch the trip and the transportation provider will arrive within one hour. If over an hour has gone by, you can call Veyo at 855-478-7350 to find out the driver's estimated arrival time (ETA).

If you are not able to make your appointment and need to cancel or reschedule your ride, please call the Veyo Contact Center at 855-478-7350 as soon as you become aware that you no longer need a ride. Please cancel your ride even if it is a bus ride or a mileage reimbursement trip.

If your appointment date or time has changed, please remember to call and update the Veyo Contact Center at 855-478-7350 of the change so we can adjust your transportation reservation.

To cancel a transportation reservation, please call Veyo at 855-478-7350 before your scheduled pickup time. Cancellations should be communicated to Veyo as soon as they are known. If the transportation being canceled is part of a repeating trip series, please be sure to notify the call center whether the cancellation is for a specific date, or if it is for all upcoming trips in the repeating trip series.

Yes, depending on your personal situation, different forms may need to be completed before booking transportation with Veyo. Here are some of the most common examples:

If you are unable to travel by public transportation, a Medical Necessity Form must be completed by your healthcare provider indicating the most medically appropriate mode(s) of transportation for you.

If you live in an urban area and need to travel 10 or more miles to an appointment, or, if you live in a rural area and need to travel 20 miles or more to an appointment, a Medical Necessity Form must be completed by your healthcare provider to verify that-for medical reasons-you need to travel beyond HUSKY Health's approved distance from your home address.

A parent, legal guardian, or caregiver is required to travel with any child under 16 years of age. Parents must fill out, sign, and return the Minor Consent to Travel Form to Veyo before any child between 12-15 years old will be able to ride alone. Any child who behaves inappropriately while riding alone will need to be accompanied by an adult for all future rides.

If you need a medically required attendant, escort, aide, assistant, or companion to ride with you, your healthcare provider will need to fill out and submit a Medical Necessity Form before your trip. Once your healthcare provider has verified that the person (for example: your sibling or your parent for family counseling) is needed at your appointment, the person may ride with you.

Your newborn or nursing infant (up to 6 months old) may ride with you, as long as you provide an appropriate car seat for the child.

If a person does not meet the criteria above, they will not be able to ride with you to or from your appointment.

Each form can be downloaded at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms or requested over the phone by calling the Veyo Contact Center at 855-478-7350.

You can find out your form(s) approval status by calling 855-478-7350. All forms must be signed by a licensed treatment professional (example: MD, LCSW, LMFT, APRN, RN).

Please make sure you call the Veyo Contact Center if any information (such as your address, phone number, etc.) changes.

"Urgent need" means you have an injury or illness that needs treatment in the next 48 hours or your health will get worse. If you have an emergency, please call 911.

If you are unable to travel by public transportation, a Medical Necessity Form must be completed by your healthcare provider indicating the most medically appropriate mode(s) of transportation for you.

This form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms.

Friends or family of HUSKY Health members who drive the member to a Medicaid-covered behavioral health, medical, or dental appointments may be eligible for mileage reimbursement.

To be reimbursed for a trip, transportation for the member needs to be scheduled at least 2 business days before the member's appointment to ensure eligibility. The HUSKY Health transportation booking phone number is 855-478-7350.

The driver must be registered with HUSKY Health / Veyo. To register as a driver, please submit the Driver Registration Form before requesting reimbursement here. If you do not have access to the internet, please call 855-478-7350 and a Veyo agent will mail the form to you.

Each date of service must have a physician or clinician signature in order for reimbursement to be approved. Each trip will be confirmed with the physician's office before payments will be made.

Each Mileage Reimbursement Form can be used for up to five (5) medical appointments of mileage reimbursement from the member's home address to a single medical facility location. This form can be found here.

The Mileage Reimbursement Form needs to be filled out and returned to Veyo within 30 days of the first medical appointment listed. Completed forms can be emailed to ctmileage@veyo.com, faxed to 860-218-2948 or mailed to Veyo, Attn: Mileage Reimbursement, PO Box 1070, Windsor, CT 06095.

Inpatient Services

Children often face stressful situations such as adjusting to school, social, and family pressures that may result in psychological conditions that cannot be managed in the outpatient setting. NewYork-Presbyterian has inpatient psychiatric units for children and teens to help them cope with difficulties in a secure environment.

Nichols Cottage & the Adolescent Unit

Nichols Cottage, part of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine, is an 17-bed inpatient child psychiatric unit designed to help children, aged 5 to 12 years, and their families manage crises. Similarly, the Adolescent Unit is a 21-bed inpatient psychiatric unit that serves adolescents aged 13-17 and their families. Both units are located at NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health Center.

Treatment begins with an integrative biopsychosocial formulation focusing on the factors that led to the inpatient admission. The hospitalization involves stabilizing acute symptoms, ensuring the safety of self and others, rapid and in-depth review of diagnosis and the psychosocial circumstances, implementation of effective psychopharmacologic and psychological treatments along with an individualized discharge plan. The milieu was designed to be a space of comfort fostering a child friendly atmosphere. The treatment team collaborates extensively with the patient's family to gather information, enhance communication and strengthen or establish a support system. Family work continues throughout the hospitalization providing support psychoeducation, skill development and safety planning. The teams work collaboratively to assist in the coordination of referrals, appointments and securing outpatient services as the patients progress towards discharge.

Whether on Nichols Cottage or the Adolescent Unit, our multidisciplinary staff - consisting of child psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, activity therapists, and teachers - treat a variety of psychiatric conditions. These conditions include disruptive disorders (attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity disorder, oppositional-defiant, and conduct disorders), anxiety and depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, developmental disorders, and psychosis. Also, maladaptive behaviors such as suicidal behavior, school refusal, running away, and psychotic behaviors often require a safe and closely monitored therapeutic environment afforded by these units. Our clinicians utilize different treatment modalities to address psychosocial issues affecting children, including individual, behavioral, cognitive and dialectical therapy, family and group therapy, as well as pharmacotherapy.

The multiplicity of psychiatric diagnoses belongs to the range of the disruptive (attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity disorder, oppositional-defiant and conduct disorders), anxiety and depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, developmental disorders, and psychosis. Different groups of maladaptive behaviors requiring a safe and closely monitored therapeutic environment include suicidal behavior, school refusal, running away, and bizarre psychotic behaviors.

There is a strong collaboration with families, providing and encouraging opportunities for participation in their child's treatment. Educational classes to continue students' academic success are provided, and contact with each child's school is maintained to coordinate a successful transition after discharge.

Children receive a thorough diagnostic assessment, including neuropsychological evaluation if needed. Parents play an essential role in the evaluation.

After the assessment, which is discussed with family, a treatment plan is developed utilizing the current resources and

Daily assessment by a child psychiatrist who works closely with the multidisciplinary treatment team.

An eclectic treatment approach utilizing the concepts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is offered based on individualized treatment plans and the development of coping skills.

Discharge to home and family is carefully planned so that the child has appropriate outpatient services to secure a successful transition.

Inpatient Education

Education, Inc. provides fully accredited school programs, including an elementary school program for inpatient students, on hospital grounds. Tutoring is arranged for children or adolescents who are unable to attend the Education, Inc. program.

Appointments

Please note, if this is an emergency, please dial 9-1-1 or visit your local emergency department. For free and confidential support from trained mental health professionals, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or NYC Well at 888-NYC-WELL (888-692-9355).

F amily First in Education aims to improve the educational and family outcomes for participating Greenwich elementary school students enrolled at Hamilton Avenue, New Lebanon and Julian Curtiss elementary schools where the low-income population is rapidly growing, leaving more students eligible for the Free or Reduced Federal Lunch Program. Due to socio-economic challenges faced by low-income families, most of these students are also non-proficient in state standardized reading and math testing.

Family First in Education utilizes a two-generational approach focused on parent engagement and structured after school programming. By paying close attention to both parent and student needs, the program positively impacts overall family wellness, school and community engagement, academic growth in reading and math and social/emotional development, thereby impacting key causes of the achievement gap.

Thanks to a strong partnership with Greenwich Public Schools (GPS), Family First's after-school curriculum complements the academic work that occurs in the classroom during the school day. As a result, a complete learning environment is created for students. To date, Family First students have demonstrated significantly higher growth on the reading and math STAR assessments relative to GPS students attending two of our feeder schools, New Lebanon and Hamilton Avenue elementary schools. According to our most recent data, about 43%-47% of Family First students are making strong growth (65% or higher SGP on STAR math and reading) when compared with 11%-17% of New Lebanon and Hamilton Avenue students.

As noted earlier, Family First in Education employs a two-generational approach to foster positive family and educational outcomes.Our wrap-around services assist parents to meet family needs and remove barriers that limit parent engagement.

Our robust and meaningful supports include:

- Master's level clinicians who address clinical and behavioral issues for students and parents, with student sessions held on site at the after-school program

-Assessment of basic needs and case management services, including connection to local resources for food, clothing, legal services, job search supports, childcare, physical and dental health, etc.

- Connection to and communication with public school staff, including accompanying parents to school meetings

- Clinician facilitated parent workshops that address questions and concerns, while building community

- Weekend family enrichment events which provide exposure to new and educational experiences

- Clinician-facilitated socio-emotional workshops for students, addressing themes of self-awareness, self-management, relationship skills, responsible decision making, etc.

- Case conferences with Family First clinicians and afterschool staff to review and plan for student concerns and issues
