The Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) specialists are do-it-all problem solvers, working tirelessly alongside various professional team members, parents, caregivers, and foster parents to help their clients "graduate."

In TBS language, to graduate means the client of the program has successfully met the goal to reduce the behaviors that were harmful to themselves and/or the people around them. William Lowery and Nikki Reyes are two of our Youth Homes' TBS specialists.
