Program Overview

Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) is an intensive, in-home behavioral modification program designed to support youth ages 5 to 21 who are at risk of removal from their home due to behavioral challenges. The program focuses on reducing disruptive behaviors, improving family dynamics, and building consistent household routines that promote long-term stability and success.

TBS is a family-centered intervention that works with both the child and their caregivers to improve how behaviors are understood, managed, and supported within the home.

Why It Matters

Youth with behavioral issues need to be understood by their families or caregivers to make improvements.

TBS is an essential service for families facing behavioral challenges that affect daily life and long-term outcomes. By working intensively in the home, TBS helps to reduce crises, strengthen family systems, and equip youth with the skills they need to thrive in the least restrictive setting possible.

We believe that with the right support, families can become empowered to turn crisis into growth and that behavioral change is possible when everyone works together toward healing and stability.
