Choosing Therapeutic Support Services for You and Your Family
Families created through adoption have unique challenges that are not always addressed in traditional therapy settings. Although the adopted child in a family may have specific challenges, those challenges can greatly impact all members of the family.
Types of Services
Adoption Wraparound +
A family centered, strength based, therapeutic program provided as an alternative to out of home placement.
Flexible Integrated Treatment (FIT) +
Flexible Integrated Treatment (FIT) serves infants, children and youth with a team approach to treatment planning allowing clinicians the flexibility to assess the level and type of services needed. As treatment needs vary over time, services are tailored to fit without interruption.
Service locations may include home, school, or community settings. Treatment interventions include multiple evidence-based programs and are used to include individual, family and group therapy. Working closely with the caregiver, skills are developed to replace the high-risk behaviors.
The goals of the program include building on the youth’s strengths and successes, reinforcing family connections, and improving overall mental and behavioral health.

Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) +
Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) is an adjunctive program that supports the services you already have. TBS is an intensive, one to one, short-term community based mental health treatment designed for youth (with Medi-Cal) up to age 21 with serious emotional problems who are engaging in specific behaviors that endanger their safety, or place them at risk for moving to a higher level of care in a group home or locked facility.
The TBS team helps identify the trigger and the pay-off to a problem behavior. Very specific plans are designed to allow the child or youth’s needs to be met in a healthy way. Working closely with the caregiver, skills are developed to replace the high-risk behaviors.
