MISSION
Helping the Behaviorally Challenging Child (HBCC) is a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation that is composed of individuals who are committed to helping behaviorally challenging children, teens and young adults lead more productive and inclusive lives.
VISION
To transform children’s lives by deepening the world’s understanding of their behaviors, and promoting effective interventions that focus on connectedness, collaboration, and inclusion.
Our History
Helping the Behaviorally Challenging Child (HBCC) was first founded as a Parent Support Group in 2004 and grew to be the first organization in Orange County to focus exclusively on a system of care around Collaborative Problem Solving®(CPS).
This exciting evidence-based approach helps adults with parenting, teaching and treating, children, teens, and young adults, with difficult-to-manage concerning behaviors who are having trouble meeting the demands of home life, school and work expectations.
In 2008 HBCC in Orange County, California started providing Parenting Classes as well as the Parent Support Groups and has been a leader in this innovative model that has proven its efficacy at all levels of caregiver support by expanding trainings for both Educators and Mental Health Service Providers.
Both locally and nationally since 2002 this approach has realized improved outcomes in treatment and ultimately has improved relationships between children and their parents, their teachers, families, caregivers and their employers.
