Behavioral Intervention

"Promise me you'll always remember: you're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
Alan Alexander Milne

Behavioral intervention services braid the development of daily living skills, interpersonal skills and behavioral management skills into an individualized plan to enable the child to function adequately. These services address developmental lags through the learning and applying of appropriate skills in various living settings, thereby maximizing the child's ability to remain living at home.

Case Management

Individuals with serious emotional disturbances may qualify for targeted mental health case management. A case manager can help locate necessary services, make referrals as needed, and monitor the delivery of the child's mental health services. A case manager may also assist the family with support services, such as respite care.

Crisis Intervention

Some children and families may require support on an urgent basis to manage difficult situations in the child's home or other community setting. 24-hour on-call services are available upon arrangement for crisis management.
