What is the Children with Serious Emotional Disorders Waiver (CSEDW)? The CSEDW program provides additional Medicaid support to children from ages three to 21 with serious mental, behavioral, or emotional health needs. The program helps keep children with their families at home or in the community instead of going to a care facility or a group home. While they are at home or in the community, they receive services to improve their condition.

 

CSEDW is a West Virginia Medicaid Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver program that allows children with serious emotional disorders to receive additional services based on the National Wraparound Initiative model. This model uses the strengths of families and each person to start growing and changing. This model also helps the child and their family get the skills they need to deal with challenges and helps keep the child stable at home.
