Mental Health Behavioral Services
Dalesio & Associates provides Behavioral Health Counseling to individuals with serious and persistent mental illness who present with challenging behaviors in the community. Typically these are individuals that have not shown significant progress towards utilizing traditional out-patient mental health services. These services are provided in the community setting so as to ascertain all of the factors that may contribute to any behavioral issues.
The main purpose of our program is to assist those consumers who have not shown significant progress utilizing multiple other mental health services to be supported in a community setting without utilizing a higher level of services.
A functional behavioral assessment is conducted within 60 days to ascertain possible causes and/or function of specific behaviors. A plan is developed that addresses these issues and is updated as changes occur or at minimum annually. Caregivers and staff associated with the individual will be identified and trained as needed by the consultant and/or supervisors in the program associated with the individual.
Assistance may be provided to individuals in accessing appropriate services that may be needed within the community. The consultant will work with all team members to assist with this process.
Services can be provided throughout the Chester County region and is available for any Chester County resident. Referrals can be made by case managers, residential staff or other treatment professionals. Authorization is obtained through the Chester County Department of Mental Health.
