Behavioral Health Care (Do Not Delete)

Intensive Family Intervention Program

Children with emotional and behavioral health challenges can benefit immensely from outside intervention and counseling. At Willowbrooke at Tanner, we realize that every family and every child has different needs. We strive to provide tailored treatment through the Willowbrooke Intensive Family Intervention Program (IFI).

Home-based intensive family therapy

IFI aims to promote a healthy family environment and prevent the need to place children in out-of-home situations, such as inpatient hospitalization, detention, therapeutic foster care or residential treatment.

Our therapists will work with you and your child in your family's home to assist you in resolving the current crisis and to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Through intensive family therapy, we will connect your family with vital community services and resources, teach you to cope with your current circumstances and family issues, and work to improve parents’ and legal guardians’ capacity to care for a child with exceptional circumstances or special needs.

Care for the whole family

IFI services are geared toward the child in need, but they also include the whole family. During the program, children and their families will receive time-limited, in-home intensive family therapy at least three times per week from a team of three therapists. This intensive approach helps prevent the need for out-of-home treatment. A full-time program coordinator will also help facilitate social work and the coordination of services.

For those families that require it, the IFI therapy team has access to an on-staff psychiatrist.

The Role of Strength and Balance in Healthy Aging

As we grow older, it’s natural to experience some changes in strength, flexibility and balance. Tasks that once felt effortless — like climbing stairs, carrying groceries or reaching for a shelf — can start to feel more challenging. But aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down or losing independence. With the right exercises and attention to movement, you can stay strong, steady and active at every stage of life.

What to Expect at Your Pap Smear Visit

Life moves fast. Between work, family and everything else, it's easy to put off routine health checks — especially when you feel fine. But here’s the thing: cervical cancer often doesn’t show symptoms until it’s advanced. If you're preparing for your first Pap smear or it's been a few years since your last one, you might be wondering: • What happens during a Pap smear? • Will it hurt? • Do I still need one if I feel healthy? These are common — and completely normal — questions. The good news is that a Pap smear test is quick, simple and one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer. Let’s walk through everything you need to know so you feel calm, informed and ready for your appointment.
