BHRS (Wraparound) uses an individualized, strength-based approach to treat mental health diagnoses in children and adolescents from ages 3 to age 21 (must still be in high school).  We use an interagency team to develop a treatment plan and goals for a child or adolescent.  BHRS then works individually with children to provide them with the skills to be successful in their home, school, and community and to prevent out of home placement.  The program also focuses on assisting parents/guardians in increasing positive behavioral changes with their children and developing effective parenting techniques.  In the schools, BHRS works with teachers to help address behavior problems related to ADHD, Anxiety, and other diagnoses.  We also specialize in the treatment of Autism through Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA).
