The primary functions of a Behavioral Health Technician (BHT) are intended to facilitate the development of social competencies and the overall emotional development of children, youth, and young adults ages 3-21. The goal is to help the child achieve maximum overall functioning, while preventing the need for out of the home or alternative school placement. BHT services are provided to children diagnosed with a psychiatric condition and who present with significant social, emotional, developmental or behavioral problems. BHT services will be provided in an individualized manner, focusing on the child's strengths. A primary goal of the service is to build competencies that will allow the child to become more successful in their social, family and community settings. It will also be a goal to develop meaningful connections within the community in an effort to build resiliency and relationships that may have long term benefit to the child. The interventions provided by the BHT may be in the form of therapeutic, supportive and competency/skill building and vary in method/modalities. These services will take place within various settings, including in the home, community or school settings. These services will take an eco-systemic approach to establish collaborative relationships with the family and within the community and utilize all possible resources for the benefit of the child and family. The BHT will also work with all individuals to transfer skills and strategies learned back to the parents or other guardians.
