Challenging Behaviors
Looking for additional support managing your child’s challenging behaviors?
Schedule a parent consult clinic with a provider on our mental health team. This single-session consult gives caregivers the opportunity to discuss the challenges they are experiencing with their child. At the end of the consult you will be provided with resources, interventions to implement at home, and next steps. To schedule this appointment, call the front office and ask to schedule a parent consult clinic.
Caregivers may choose to seek additional support and education through our Managing Challenging Behaviors Group. Dr. Breslend facilitates a six week, skills based group where participants learn skills to manage their child’s strong willed behaviors. Please refer to our therapy groups page for sign up instructions and further details.
