Brief Strategic Therapy
ECBHC’s primary model of intervention is Brief Strategic Therapy which involves all members of the family in the service delivery process. This approach recognizes the important role that family members have in each other’s lives, and tries to support each family member in his or her unique role in the healing process.

There are two components through which we deliver our services at ECBHC:

• The Community Assessment Team, Youth-At Risk component serves youth who are at-risk for entering the Juvenile Justice System due to delinquency, oppositional behavior, and drug or alcohol use (if in conjunction with other problems impacting the community).
• The School-Linked Counseling component serves youth with behavioral, emotional, or psychological problems in the following school districts: Lakeside Union School District (Lakeside Middle School and Tierra del Sol Middle School), Santee School District, and the Grossmont Union High School District (El Cajon Valley HS, El Capitan HS, & Chaparral HS).

With the belief that individuals are heavily influenced by their environments, we make it a goal to include family members in our intervention plan whenever possible.
