Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS)

THERAPEUTIC BEHAVIORAL SERVICES (TBS) is a short term intensive program designed to reduce challenging behaviors that are placing youth at risk of psychiatric hospitalizations or group home placement, or services may support the youth stepping down from group home placement to ensure success in the home environment. The goal of TBS is to reduce challenging behaviors while emphasizing the youth’s and family’s strengths and abilities. Services are provided at the time and place the behaviors occur, and when the youth and caregivers will most benefit. Services are provided in a manner that is complementary to the cultural and linguistic needs for the youth and family. Each behavior plan is specific to the needs of the youth and family and will be taught in a way that can be continued after services end.
