Background
JDT Consultants provides Therapeutic Behavioral Services ("TBS") on an "as requested" basis via a network of TBS providers in a variety of locations throughout the State. TBS is considered a specialty mental health treatment in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 9, Chapter 11, and a one-to-one behavioral mental health service available to children/youth with serious emotional challenges who are under age 21 and are eligible for Medi-Cal benefits. TBS is designed to help children/youth and parents/caregivers manage behavior utilizing short-term, measurable goals based on the needs of the child/youth and family. The goal of TBS is to help children avoid being placed in a higher level of care such as a residential treatment facility or to help children make a successful move to a lower level of care such as returning home after residential treatment.
