Platform Behavioral Support Services has a dedicated, multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, licensed clinicians, and qualified mental health professionals committed to supporting youth, adults, and families. Our team works collaboratively to understand each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals and to provide compassionate, personalized, and high-quality mental health services. Through clinical care, skills development, medication support, case management, and connections to community resources, we help individuals and families build resilience, increase stability, strengthen independence, and improve their overall well-being.

​

**Our comprehensive mental health services for youth, adults, and families include:

​

Assessments/Reassessments

​

PBSS performs an initial assessment and/or reassessment by clinically obtaining and evaluating historical, social/behavioral, functional, psychiatric, developmental, or other information from the recipient seeking services to determine specific treatment and support needs.

​

Routine Case Management

​

We help youth, adults, and families identify, access, and coordinate the care, resources, and support services needed to address their individual needs. Our team collaborates with clients, caregivers, healthcare providers, schools, and community organizations to strengthen communication, reduce barriers to care, and connect individuals with helpful resources. We also monitor progress, support follow-through with recommended services, and help individuals and families navigate systems of care to promote greater stability, independence, and success at home, at school, at work, and within their communities.

 

Treatment Planning

The Treatment plan is intended to reduce a recipient’s functional impairments resulting from serious mental illness for adults, reduce serious emotional disturbance in children, and restore a recipient to his/her optimal functioning level in the community. The Treatment plans are based on a comprehensive assessment and address the recipient's strengths, areas of need, preferences, and descriptions of the recipient’s treatment goals.

 

Medication Management

​

PBSS offers pharmacotherapy and medication training services that include evaluating and prescribing medications to recipients based on their respective symptoms and support services consisting of education and guidance about medications and their possible side effects.

​

Skills Training and Development

​

PBSS offers skills training and supportive interventions focused on improving communication skills, appropriate interpersonal behaviors, and other skills necessary for independent living or, when age-appropriate, functioning effectively with family, peers, and teachers. Skills training and development may include Assertiveness skills, Anger management skills, Stress reduction techniques, Communication skills, Prosocial skills, Transportation utilization, and the development of natural supports. 

​

Psychosocial Rehabilitation (Adults Only)

​

Psychosocial rehabilitative services are social and cognitive interventions our team provides to the recipients that build on strengths and focus on restoring the recipient’s ability to develop and maintain social relationships and occupational and other independent living skills. Psychosocial rehabilitative services include independent living services, coordination services, employment, housing, and medication-related services.

 

Counseling Services

​

We provide individual and family counseling to youth, adults, and families in the participant’s home or virtually through secure telehealth services. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other person-centered approaches, our licensed clinicians help participants understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Counseling focuses on developing healthy coping strategies, managing symptoms, improving relationships and communication, and working toward meaningful goals that promote emotional well-being and lasting progress.

 

Crisis Intervention

​

PBSS provides community-based crisis intervention services to support recipients experiencing urgent behavioral health needs. These intensive, one-on-one services help manage acute symptoms and reduce the risk of hospitalization, incarceration, or placement in a more restrictive treatment setting.
