What are Intensive Behavioral Health Services?
Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) is a short-term, intensive program for children and adolescents up to the age of 21 to address behavioral health concerns. Services are provided in the home, school and community settings.
Behavioral support is provided wherever it is needed, including in the home, school, or daycare -wherever the child encounters challenges that need to be addressed.
IBHS services include:
- Behavior Consultant Services
- Mobile Therapy
- Behavioral Health Technicians
Our behavior consultants are all trained and have experience in applied behavior analysis (ABA). ABA is a scientifically proven approach for helping children make lasting behavior change. It is effective at teaching children appropriate ways to express emotions and needs and achieve success at home and in school.
Our mobile therapists are all trained and have experience in the social thinking model and trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT). Social thinking is a research-based model that focuses on age appropriate social and emotional regulation skills. TF-CBT is designed to help children who have experienced traumatic events, grief, and loss.
Our behavioral health technicians (BHT’s) provide one on one direct treatment under the supervision of the behavior consultant. A BHT implements the goals and interventions outlined within the child’s treatment plan.
