Volunteer Behavioral Health RIP Program - Cleveland Campus

Description:

RIP (Regional Intervention Program) is an early intervention program serving children between the ages of 2 and 6 with behavioral challenges (the child must be enrolled before their 6th birthday). RIP tackles problem behaviors such as aggression, tantrums, non-compliance, destruction of property, high activity level, trouble at school, and more. Parents serve as primary therapists for their own children at RIP, with valuable peer support from other families facing similar challenges. Veteran RIP parents and staff assist newly enrolled parents in learning, practicing, and implementing positive behavior management skills, strategies, and techniques to address their children's behavior issues. Families are expected to participate every Tuesday and Thursday for 2 hours, and it takes 6-9 months from enrollment to graduation.
