Compassionate, Transformative Care for Children and Families

The Integrated Behavioral Health Program (IBH) at Cincinnati Children's provides transformative care for children and families. Our innovative program offers a holistic approach to pediatric care, seamlessly integrating behavioral health services into primary care practices. Our team of dedicated psychologists and therapists work diligently to ensure that every child gets a good start in life. Our integrated therapists provide preventive care, addressing behavioral and mental health concerns before they escalate. IBH offers consultation, evidence-based interventions, and crisis stabilization —empowering families to navigate challenges effectively. When more intensive or specialized services are needed, IBH providers assist with referrals and provide interim support to maintain continuity of care during the transition period.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to the two-generation model of care, recognizing that the well-being of children is deeply intertwined with the well-being of their families.
