Behavioral Health Services
Our Behavioral Health Services provide evidence-based treatment by qualified licensed professionals to help children and families meet their child’s mental, emotional, or behavioral health needs.
Home of the Innocents offers services to support the developmental, social, emotional, and behavioral needs of children up to age 18 and their families. Behavioral Health Services address a range of concerns such as:
- adoption/attachment
- anger and aggression
- attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity
- development
- family and parenting
- problem behavior at home/school
- sadness, worry, fear
- school/learning concerns
- social skills deficits
- stressful or traumatic events
During your child’s first appointment, a diagnostic evaluation is completed to determine their therapeutic needs. The following services are available to children and their families based on diagnostic evaluation:
Therapy
Individual Therapy can help children process emotions, cope with feelings, improve relationships, and decrease difficult behavior through play, cognitive-behavioral, and relationship-based interventions. Family therapy is available to address communication patterns or other family functioning problems.
Case Management Targeted Case Management may happen in the home or school or another supportive setting in the community. They may include family therapy, individual therapy, or collateral therapy—treatments and goals are created by the child, the therapist, and supportive people in the child’s life.

MultiSystemic Therapy In addition to the services listed above, we also offer MultiSystemic Therapy (MST).
MST is an evidence-based model that treats children ages 12-17 who exhibit chronic or serious anti-social behavior and are at high risk of out-of-home placement. MST utilizes a home-based model of service delivery, including therapy that educates families on the effects of trauma and helps them heal from past trauma, preventing trauma from manifesting into one or more psychiatric disorders, a child’s removal from the home, or detainment in a juvenile justice facility.
