Intensive Home-Based Services

Intensive Home-Based Services (IHBS) is designed for Ventura County youth or youth who have been placed in foster care, a short-term residential program (STRTP), or probation youth. Our dedicated, professional staff works with youth and their families to create goals, develop behavioral intervention strategies and provide structure and routine within the home environment.
