About the Program:

Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) is a specialized, short-term, strength-based, trauma-informed, and community-based service which works in collaboration with a child, the child’s caregivers, and the primary mental health provider to address one to three behaviors that jeopardize the child’s current home or residential placement. TBS addresses target behaviors by using evidence-based practices to implement behavioral interventions that support the child and family in building prosocial skills and replacement behaviors that will preserve the child's home placement. TBS focuses on 1:1 direct support with the youth, as well as caregiver participation and coaching, to promote lasting change and progress. Therapeutic Behavioral Services – Intellectually Delayed (TBS-ID) works within the TBS model and provides services that meet the needs of clients with Intellectual/Developmental Delay or Disability, including appropriate evidence-based practices and adaptations of standard TBS services to individualize treatment in accommodation of the youth's developmental needs. The TBS team consists of teammates who provide culturally-responsive, strengths-based, team-based services within a flexible schedule.
