Purdue University Child Behavior Management Clinic
The PPTRC Child Behavior Management (CBM) Clinic helps the families of children who frequently have problems staying focused and paying attention, controlling behavior, and getting along with others. We begin with a careful assessment of the child’s strengths and difficulties. We then set goals with the family and develop a treatment plan to improve the child’s daily functioning. Our program centers on teaching parents and caregivers skills so that they can guide their children to better behavior and improve relationships within the family. The program may also include direct work with the child and consultations with a child's school and pediatrician. We track progress carefully as we work with families, so that we can know how well we are doing in reachng goals and adjust services as needed.

Services Offered
The CBM Clinic offers treatment that has been demonstrated through research to be effective helping children who frequently display disruptive and/or oppositional behavior. Because every family is different, you and your clinician will work together to set goals and create a treatment plan for your child.
Fees and Payment
Clients in the Child Behavior Management Clinic can expect to receive treatment in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment that emphasizes collaboration between the clinician and family. Within the first 2-3 sessions, you will complete a set of assessments about your child that will aid you and your clinician in setting achievable goals to work towards. Following those sessions, your clinician will outline a treatment plan that lays out the steps for achieving those goals. This will involve learning and practicing specific skills with your child, tracking your child’s progress, and tailoring other skills to target areas of specific need. Individual Family Training lasts 8-12 sessions after the assessment and the Parenting Group has 10 sessions following assessment. The Parenting Group meets on Mondays, 6:30-8:00 p.m. Families in the group can schedule 1-2 booster sessions if they have to miss a group or want extra help on a problem.

Qualifying for assistance from Indiana's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Indiana's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
