ABOUT IHBS

The Intensive Home-Based Services (IHBS) program offers specialized mental health support for clients aged 3-21, focusing on transitioning them back to family care or preventing institutional placement.

IHBS involves individual therapeutic sessions between a behavioral coach and the client and their caregivers, aimed at developing skills to effectively manage behaviors hindering family integration or placing the client at risk of separation from family.
