Children's Behavioral Health Initiative

Children and youth under the age of 21 who have MassHealth Standard or CommonHealth coverage are eligible. Private insurance may also be accepted for our outpatient program, please call us to check coverage.

Children's Behavioral Health Initiative, also known as CBHI services provide individualized, intensive therapy and support to youth and their families.

CBHI connects families struggling with mental health and substance use to community resources, enabling them to work towards self-sufficiency.

Considered a higher level of care than therapy alone, this model provides multiple supports for youth and families.

In-Home Therapy (IHT) is a team-based approach comprised of a Master's level or licensed clinician and paraprofessional therapeutic support staff (if needed) working together with identified youth and their family to strengthen relationships, improve communication, learn to resolve conflicts, and develop healthy routines.

We support clients of all ages and families experiencing: emotional or behavioral challenges, school difficulties, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or trauma, social skill struggles, and adjustment to major life changes.

In-Home Therapy provides structured, family-based clinical support in your home or community. These services meet families where they are. We provide therapy and skill-building in the home and community, which helps clients and families practice strategies in real-life situations. This hands-on model can accelerate progress and strengthen family systems.

We currently serve families in Attleboro, Taunton, Brockton, Plymouth, New Bedford, Fall River and surrounding towns. Telehealth is available statewide when appropriate.

Therapeutic Mentoring (TM) is a 1:1 strengths based service between a paraprofessional staff member and the identified youth, working together to develop and improve the youth's coping skills, social skills, life skills, and communication skills.

They work in conjunction with other providers (outpatient and in-home therapists) to coordinate care.

TM's work with youth in their homes or in the community.
