In-Home Behavioral Services Sometimes a child will do something over and over that bothers other people or harms the child. If it is very hard to get this child to act differently, a therapist will work with you and others in your child’s life to try new ways to help your child change these behaviors. Therapeutic Mentors Some children and teens want to get along with others, but need help and practice learning to talk or act in new ways. A Therapeutic Mentor will go with your child to the places where the child has the most trouble and teach him or her new skills, such as better ways to talk or act with other children and adults. Family Support and Training (Family Partners) Do you need support? Family Partners help parents and caregivers to help their children reach their treatment goals. They are parents or caregivers of children with special needs – they’ve “been there,” understand what families go through, and can share their experiences. Family Partners are not behavioral health professionals, but work closely with parents to help them get the services their children need. 2 Call the service directly METRO BOSTON REGION (Note: Lists of providers subject to change.)
