Support for Families
At Therapeutic Strength-Based Services (TSS), we work with families respectfully and collaboratively, focusing on a child’s strengths while supporting growth where challenges exist.
Our goal is to help children build the skills they need to succeed - without labeling or defining them by their struggles.
WHAT FAMILIES CAN EXPECT
A Respectful, Strength-Based Experience
Families who work with TSBS can expect:
- A strengths-first approach that highlights what your child does well
- Services aligned with school environments and educational goals
- Clear, respectful communication
- Support that promotes confidence, emotional regulation, and positive behavior
- Thoughtful collaboration with schools when appropriate
We believe families are an essential part of meaningful progress and should feel informed, respected, and supported throughout the process.
HOW SUPPORT WORKS
How the Process Begins
Every child’s situation is unique, but our process typically includes:
Families or schools may reach out to explore whether TSS services are appropriate for a child’s needs.
We focus on learning about your child’s strengths, challenges, and the environments where support is needed.
A plan is developed that supports emotional growth, behavior, and skill development
When appropriate and approved, we collaborate with schools and caregivers to promote consistency and progress.
Supporting Growth Beyond Challenges
At TSBS, support is not about “fixing” a child—it’s about helping them grow Our work supports:
By reinforcing strengths, children are more likely to feel capable, understood, and motivated.
SCHOOL COLLABORATION

This collaboration helps:
