Helping the Behaviorally Challenging Child in Tustin (HBCC) is a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation. HBCC teaches a revolutionary, evidence-based approach for supporting children with behavioral challenges stemming from neurodiversity, mental health challenges, and/or trauma. Unlike traditional models of behavior management, the approach taught by HBCC avoids the use of power, control and motivational procedures and instead focuses on teaching neurodiverse and at-risk youth the skills they need to succeed using a relationship-based, trauma-informed paradigm.

We are searching for a kind-hearted person who can help us meet the growing demand for our services. Duties include:

• Assisting with routine administrative duties, including writing and editing personal e-mails or memos on the founder’s behalf
• Organizing meetings, including scheduling and sending reminders
• Managing client and donor databases
• Designing and drafting mass email communications/campaigns (such as event announcements) using Constant Contact
• Preparing social media postings
• Researching and registering for community outreach events

The approach we teach - Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) - was developed at the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Psychiatry, the #1-ranked Department of Psychiatry in the United States. The approach is proven to reduce challenging behavior, teach kids the skills they lack, and build relationships with the adults in their lives. CPS is listed on the Blue Menu of Evidence-Based Psychosocial Interventions for Youth from the PracticeWise Evidence-Based Services Database, and on the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare. The multiple studies conducted on CPS reveal tremendous benefits including significant reduction in parental stress, significant improvement in children’s executive functioning skills, 86% average reduction in physical restraint, 73% reduction in children’s oppositional behaviors at school, 71% fewer self-inflicted injuries, and improvements in parent-child interactions and feeling of competence.

HBCC’s mission is to help the youth we serve lead more productive and inclusive lives by teaching families, professionals, and institutions to implement this compassionate and proven approach with fidelity. To fulfill this mission, HBCC needs the support of dedicated volunteers.
