Therapeutic Behavioral Services Coach

As a Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) Coach, you will provide behaviorally focused mental health services to county-referred youth and families. TBS Coach supports youth who are returning to their families from institutional care and prevents the need for institutional care and those who are at risk of psychiatric hospitalization. TBS also supports youth who have been previously hospitalized in order to prevent future hospitalizations. These services, which are youth and family focused and strength based, are provided in the community, including, but not limited to, schools, hospitals, and family homes. The TBS Coach works individually to provide therapeutic intervention while also collaborating with other treatment providers to ensure continuity of care and a collaborative effort to support the youth and family in meeting their goals.
