About CBH

People who work with kids with challenging behaviors or mental health diagnoses have chosen one of the most demanding, yet most rewarding careers . They go by different titles: Foster parent, family or child advocate, care coordinator, behavioral health associate, residential staff, educators and classroom aides. They all share the commitment to help kids develop resiliency and skills necessary to face life's challenges.

  • Information for Employers

    If your staff is enrolled in the CBH program they will need their employers support. Some ways that employers can support staff who are in this program are:

    • Encourage two or more staff to take the course together
    • Provide release time for classes
    • Allow access to agency resources such as use of computer for classes

    It is vital that supervisors participate in the learning experience in a supportive way.
