BHIS are available to children and adults. BHIS are intended to build skills and help reduce symptoms and behaviors that are associated with a diagnosed psychological disorder. BHIS are specifically designed to restore mental health functioning that the individual lost or never achieved because of interference in the normal maturational and learning process due to individual or parental dysfunction. Individuals receiving BHIS begin with a behavioral health assessment, which will determine a diagnosis and recommendation for service.  A treatment plan is then established, where goals and objectives are specifically listed and outlined. Individual Interventions are provided through a predictable schedule of formal sessions that are directed at the cognitive and emotional dynamics that influence behavior. Family Interventions enhance the family’s ability to effectively interact with the child and support the child’s functioning. Crisis Interventions are unscheduled intensive interventions for the purpose of restoring adequate child or family functioning.
