What Is TBS Therapy?

TBS therapy is a structured, short-term behavioral program that provides one-to-one support for youth between the age of 5 and 18. The therapeutic behavioral services program is designed to address behaviors that place a child at risk and to provide the support needed to stabilize and improve functioning at home, school, and in the community. This can include challenges such as difficulty managing anger, impulsive behaviors, frequent conflict at home, school refusal, or trouble coping with stress and change.

Through TBS' therapeutic behavioral services, trained behavioral professionals work directly with youth and caregivers to develop practical skills, improve emotional control, and strengthen relationships.

This program is often recommended when traditional outpatient treatment alone is not enough, and additional intensive services are required to support the child’s needs.
