 BHRS services are intensive mental health services for children and
adolescents with or at risk of developing severe emotional disorders
and their families.
The Green Tree
School BHRS Program is designed to provide intensive
individual, group and family therapy; behavior management; guidance
in the identification and utilization of needed resources; and
strategic therapeutic interventions and skills training to children,
adolescents and their families or care providers.
All children and
youth that are involved in the program are given the opportunity to
maximize their learning potential through the use of the most
developed psychotherapeutic techniques, parent training procedures,
curriculum standards and classroom management strategies.
The primary objective of the program is to sustain each child
in his/her home environment.
The following
services are provided based upon the needs of the student:
-
PSYCHOLOGICAL
EVALUATION:
This is the initial evaluation and reevaluation
of the student every 120 days.
-
