CSBBH Team services are voluntary mental health services for children and teenagers with a severe emotional and/or behavioral problem that interferes with their learning. School-based services differ from other types of behavioral health services because they are usually provided in school. After school and weekends, CSBBH Team services can be provided as needed in your home or in the community.

The CSBBH Team's goal is to teach your child new ways to better manage feelings and behaviors so that he or she can learn and get along better with others. The Service may include individual, group, or family therapy sessions, as well as behavior management planning, crisis intervention, and referrals. Services build on the strengths of your child and family.

CSSBH Team services are different from regular Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS). The team provides services as needed and during specific times when your child has the most difficulty. The team works with your child one-on-one, with another child, in a group, or with your family.

CSSBH Team services are usually approved for up to six months for a school semester. A child needs to be eligible for Medical Assistance to qualify for CSBBH team services and the school must be in a participating district.
