Our Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) provide help and support to children, youth, and young adults (up to age 21) who have challenging behaviors and are having difficulty maintaining their current placement. A home and community based, short-term, intensive service, TBS is provided for an average of three months. We assign a trained Therapeutic Behavioral Coach for an agreed upon number of hours per week. The coach assists the client and caregiver with the development of structure and new learning experiences that promote healthy pro-social behaviors, and supports the family in gaining new life skills.
