Overview
Behavioral Consultation and Intervention Services (BCIS) are tailored to the needs of the consumer, which may include, but are not limited to, a school district, educational placement, mental health service providers, individual and/or families. Consultation can include support to students or classrooms, school districts, social service agencies, individual consumers, and families, dependent on presenting needs. Consultation can occur across all settings and environments to ensure skill maintenance and generalization.
Goals:
- Prevention: Through training, collaboration and consultation, BCIS aims to support the staff of entities with which we contract to identify risk factors associated with mental health issues and respond to those needs accordingly.
- Psychoeducation: Through BCIS, educators, human service workers and parents are provided with information regarding mental health diagnoses, available treatments, local resources and wellness.
- Least restrictive: BCIS strives to support programs to maintain children with mental health issues in the least restrictive environment in which their needs can be met. Staff work to educate and guide direct care staff in meeting the needs of their students.
