(1) Community-based psychiatric rehabilitation support (CBPRS) services are provided on a face-to-face basis primarily with a youth, and may also include consultation on a face-to-face basis with family members, teachers, employers, or other key individuals in the youth's life when such contacts are clearly necessary to meet rehabilitation goals established in the youth's individual treatment plan.
