Behavioral Health Services Offered by Assist, Inc.
Assist, Inc is a proud member of the CASSP system and offers a variety of behavioral health rehabilitation services (BHRS) to children and adolescents in the Cambria County and Somerset area.
Wraparound Services: Service Comes to You!
Wraparound, or Behavioral Health Rehabilitative Services, address individual's complex behavioral and psychological health needs by developing a treatment plan that addresses that person's strengths, needs, and competencies. These services make the most of the resources that children already have: committed adults in their families, schools, and other personally significant environments. Unlike inpatient care programs, wraparound services occur in the individual's natural environments, such as the home and school, preventing the need for a client to be in more restrictive settings. Wraparound services are provided in the home, school, and community environments by committed professionals who strive to help their clients accomplish their behavioral goals.
Members of the BHRS Team

Behavioral Specialist Services (BSC)- Masters level mental health professional who coordinates behavioral rehabilitative services for the client, develops a customized treatment plan, and oversees support staff throughout the therapeutic process. The BSC also may be involved with providing therapeutic supervision to parents and other adults, helping them to develop strategies to accomplish the client's behavioral/emotional goals.
Therapeutic Support Staff (TSS)- A mental health professional who works one-to-one with the child or adolescent on a regular basis. The primary role of the TSS is to implement the treatment plan and conduct activities that reinforce treatment plan goals in the home, community, and school settings.
