Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS)

Serves children and transitional youth short-term focusing on changing a child’s or youth’s behavior, while emphasizing their strengths. Our TBS Aides at Bright Futures Ahead work in collaboration with the child, the child’s caregivers, and the primary mental health provider to address behavioral challenges that jeopardize the child’s ability to remain in his or her current home or placement. Therapeutic Behavioral Services are designed to help children, youth, parents, and caregivers manage challenging behaviors utilizing short-term interventions to achieve measurable goals based on the needs of the child or youth and the family. TBS helps the child and youth to learn new adaptive behaviors and skills to replace dysfunctional or dangerous ones and is delivered in the child’s everyday living environment. Used in conjunction with other mental health services that the youth is receiving from a counseling/clinical treatment team, TBS can make the difference in decreasing behavior or symptoms that are jeopardizing a child’s current living situation. It can also help a child make a successful transition to a lower level of care. The short-term and behavior focused treatment, along with requirements for tracking progress, allows for continuous monitoring of goals and interventions for efficacy in service.
