Minnesota Department of Humans Services-Listing of CTSS Providers August 2, 2013.
Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS) is one of the rehabilitative mental health packages

providers to address the conditions of emotional disturbance that impair and interfere with children’s
abilities to function. These rehabilitative services offer a broad range of medical and remedial services
and skills to restore a child’s functional abilities as much as possible.
