Frequently Asked Questions
What is BHIS?
Behavioral Health Intervention Services (BHIS) is a home-based skill-building program that helps children and teens learn to make healthy and positive choices. We work with families to build practical skills that improve day-to-day life including conflict resolution, social skills, communication skills, and ways to cope with frustration, fear, or anger. By bringing the entire family together for BHIS services, clients improve their communication, manage unhealthy behaviors, and build stronger relationships.
Is BHIS for children only?
We emphasize working with not only the individual child but bringing together the entire family. Using this method, families improve their communication, manage unhealthy behaviors, and build stronger relationships. We can partner with you to help your child achieve success.
Who's eligible for services?
Families with a child between the ages of 4-21 with a mental health diagnosis and Title XIX (Medicaid) are eligible to receive BHIS services.
Is BHIS the same as therapy?
BHIS services are intended to improve skills and supplement what your child may be doing in therapy. This program will be most effective when done in conjunction with therapy services. Individual and Group therapy services are also offered at Chic Behavioral Health and Community Services.
