IHBT focuses on the mental health issues that put the youth at risk, while promoting positive development and healthy family functioning with services provided around the clock. The goal of IHBT is to help young people avoid out-of-home placements such as inpatient hospitalization or residential treatment. It is also used to assist with the transition from these types of placements so they can live and function successfully at home, in school, and in the community. The IHBT Manager will supervise a team of IHBT clinicians, with small caseloads of 6-7 youth each, for 3-6 months, overseeing psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, individual and family counseling, therapeutic behavioral support, and crisis intervention and stabilization.
