Behavioral/Mental Health Support

Our Behavioral Support Services are designed to assist individuals with a wide range of challenging behaviors that may impact their independence or community integration. Common challenging behaviors that interfere with daily life include self-injurious behaviors, aggression towards others, and elopement. These behaviors can stem from various factors, such as communication challenges, environmental triggers, biological factors, or medical issues, including medication side effects. Through a comprehensive behavioral assessment, the goal is to identify the function of the challenging behavior and develop strategies to meet the individual’s needs with more appropriate replacement behaviors.

• Behavioral assessment that evaluates challenging behaviors through a biopsychosocial model, considering multiple factors.
• Behavioral Support Plan that conducts Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), utilizes evidence-based interventions, and highlights the strengths and desires of an individual.
• Behavioral Consultation that provides ongoing support, treatment, and monitoring of progress through person-centered approach.
• Staff/Caregiver training that empowers them to provide consistent and effective techniques with the individual.
• Therapeutic rapport that shows understanding and care with integration of trauma informed practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
