Behavioral Health Services

In the past 15 years, our behavioral health experts developed, refined and implemented a treatment model designed specifically for youth suffering from behavioral and psychological disorders. It is called the Girls and Boys Town Psychoeducational Treatment Model, popularly known as PEM®.

This treatment model combines social skills instruction with traditional intervention methods to improve treatment quality, reduce negative behavior and build on the child's strengths. PEM is based on straightforward concept: Everyone can be a powerful therapeutic agent.

This simple fact reaps many rewards.

  • The success of all therapeutic interactions is maximized.
  • Consistency in treatment is reinforced.
  • Patient satisfaction is enhanced.
  • Treatment outcomes are improved.

PEM is distinguished by its systems-based approach. That's why you will find PEM used in today's most challenging treatment environments:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Hospitals
  • Residential Treatment Centers
  • Acute Care Facilities
  • Day Treatment Programs
