Kids Thrive Behavioral Health

Kids Thrive is a behavioral healthcare provider specializing in early mental health interventions for children aged 3 to 10 with significant behavioral challenges. Recognizing that early childhood is a crucial period for developing positive social skills, the organization aims to support children who may have been excluded from typical childcare settings due to behavioral issues. By offering consistent structure and routines, Kids Thrive prepares children for successful integration into school environments.
The organization offers a range of programs tailored to meet varying clinical needs. Their day treatment program provides comprehensive clinical care through individual and group therapy sessions, operating five days a week for children requiring intensive support. For those attending regular school, the school-based program offers afternoon sessions to provide ongoing care and community engagement. Additionally, traditional outpatient services are available, with the frequency and duration of sessions customized based on the child's and family's goals. Aside from this location in Cincinnati, they have another in the city and one in Columbus.
A distinctive aspect of Kids Thrive's approach is the integration of the Developmental Repair Model, which focuses on enhancing children's tolerance for group interactions and shared adult attention. Family involvement is emphasized through therapy and parent coaching sessions, equipping caregivers with techniques to manage their child's behaviors effectively. The organization also incorporates therapeutic interventions such as music therapy, therapeutic arts, gross motor play, sensory integration, and pet therapy to create a holistic and engaging treatment environment.
