Contract Agency of the Year

Mental Health Systems, Inc. TBS San Bernardino was awarded Contract Agency of the year by the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health for providing outstanding services for the County of San Bernardino.

"SAN BERNARDINO, CA May, 2008 – Mental Health System’s Inc.’s (MHS) Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) program has been recognized by the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health for its success in serving the needs of children with psychiatric diagnosis and behavioral problems. TBS received the award for County Contract Program of the Year at the May 14 “Evening with the Stars” awards dinner in San Bernardino.

TBS is an in-home, community based, voluntary, short-term intensive behavioral management service designed to treat moderate to severely emotionally disturbed children, youth and young adults up to age 21. It helps them to maintain current placement in a family home, foster home, shelter, group home or residential treatment center, or to transition successfully to a lower level of care. MHS has been operating its TBS program in San Bernardino County since 2005.

“We’re very proud to be selected as the County Contractor of the year,” said Kim Bond, president of MHS. “Our TBS team is so committed to reaching out to the community and helping as many youth as possible. It’s an honor to be recognized for our hard work and dedication.”

TBS is funded by the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health Mental Health Services State Funded Source. Since opening in San Bernardino, TBS has provided services to over 500 children, adolescents, and young adults. Once a client is assigned, a trained TBS coach works with a single client and family and uses behavioral modification techniques to teach adaptive skills for managing problematic behavior. TBS employees also work on enhancing successful utilization of proactive strategies and interventions with clients after TBS services are discontinued. MHS operates TBS in San Diego as well.
