Therapeutic Behavioral Services

Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) provides short-term behavior modification services to children who are in jeopardy of losing their home or school placements or are transitioning to a lower level of care. Caregivers participate in developing new strategies and interventions to assist the client with stabilizing and maintaining current placements.

What are Therapeutic Behavioral Services?

Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) is a short-term, intensive, and personalized behavioral health service designed for children and youth under 21 who face serious emotional challenges and have full-scope Medi-Cal. TBS is not a standalone service but is provided as part of a broader treatment plan, working alongside other behavioral health services.

The program lasts for six months and involves close collaboration with caregivers to help reduce challenging behaviors. As part of our team, you’ll partner with a TBS Specialist to identify specific behaviors of concern and create a tailored treatment plan to address those behaviors effectively.
