Behavioral Health

Home and Community-Based Treatment (HCT)

Our caring, compassionate clinical team empathizes with the difficult behaviors that you are dealing with at home. We understand that families are hectic, schedules are full, and when you add in a child with behavioral concerns, everything gets more challenging. We work collaboratively with your family and team to help improve your lives, decrease behavioral outbursts and provide more stability for long-term success.

When you enlist the help of HCT, one of our highly-trained clinicians will come to your home to gather information. During this assessment period, you will have the opportunity to discuss your current situation and how you’d like to see services move forward. Your designated Behavioral Health Professional will work on the outlined goals that are established by your family to teach new strategies and coping skills. This service runs over the course of 6 months, with the goal to help you transition to Outpatient Counseling or another less intensive support program.

Case management (also called Behavioral Health Homes or BHH

Our energetic team of care managers love connecting families with resources in their communities. It is truly a passion of theirs! They meet with you to help establish your child’s needs and begin brainstorming and gathering information. As they come across available programs or supports, they will coordinate with you to send in a referral or an application. The goal of our Behavioral Health Home is to ensure that your child has access to the available resources in the community and that you as a parent or caregiver know how to get them.

While in our Behavioral Health Home program, your family has a comprehensive team made up of the following: care manager, program manager, Certified Intentional Peer Support Specialist, clinical supervisor, psychologist, nurse, and doctor. The team meets regularly to review cases and brainstorm additional resources available.
