In-Home Therapy (IHT)


IHT is part of the Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI), is a structured, consistent, strength-based, therapeutic relationship between a Master’s level clinician and the youth and family for the purpose of treating the youth’s behavioral health needs, including improving the family’s ability to provide effective support for the youth to promote his/her healthy functioning within the family.

IHT services will assist families in addressing their youth’s emotional and mental health needs. The system of care is youth-guided, family-driven, and culturally competent.
