Short-Term Respite & Individualized Support Options

Services

Respite Services for Children, Adolescents & Adults

Global provides individualized respite and short-term support options for children, adolescents, and adults, including individuals with more complex support needs. We are open to reviewing referrals involving:

• High behavioral support needs
• Mental health or emotional regulation needs
• Developmental or intellectual disabilities
• Medical or health-related support needs
• Elopement or other safety concerns
• Increased supervision needs
• Difficult transitions between hospitals, providers, family homes, foster care, crisis programs, or other settings

Global serves both minors and adults. Each referral is reviewed individually.

CRS & CFRS Setting Development

Global works with counties, case managers, crisis teams, guardians, and other referral partners to explore developing individualized residential settings, including CRS (Community Residential Services) and CFRS / children's residential development as appropriate under Minnesota requirements. We are interested in reviewing referrals involving:

• Adults who may need CRS development
• Children and adolescents who may need an appropriate residential setting developed
• Individuals with higher behavioral or supervision needs
• Individuals who have experienced unsuccessful or disrupted placements
• Individuals transitioning from hospitals, crisis programs, foster care, or other providers
• Individuals who may benefit from a setting developed around their specific support needs

Setting development is not available for every referral and depends on eligibility, licensing requirements, funding, staffing, location, safety needs, and the individual's assessed needs.

Moratorium Exception Referrals

If you have a client who may qualify for a Minnesota residential moratorium exception, Global Community Services is open to reviewing the referral and working with the case manager, county, guardian, and support team to explore whether development may be appropriate.

We can review referrals involving individuals who:

• May meet criteria for a moratorium exception
• Have been difficult to place in an existing setting
• Have higher behavioral, medical, supervision, or safety needs
• Are transitioning from a hospital, crisis program, foster care, or another provider
• May need a setting developed around their individual support needs

Global does not determine whether someone qualifies for a moratorium exception. Eligibility and approval are determined through the appropriate Minnesota and county processes. Our role is to review the referral and explore whether we may be able to develop or provide an appropriate setting if the person is eligible.
