BHIS offers tools and support to families so they can create a supportive environment at home as they work through emotional and behavioral issues. The program helps families find real-life solutions for dealing with family conflict, coordination between therapists, medication providers, schools and other service providers in the community, and a comprehensive and coordinated array of services from assessment to implementation. This method provides support, direction and education in the client’s home or a community setting in which the client feels safe. BHIS are designed for children experiencing social, behavioral, or emotional challenges with the primary goal of assisting these individuals and their families in learning age-appropriate skills to manage behavior and self-control issues, allowing them to function in the home setting and in society.
