Does Mr. Behning guarantee the services of the providers and programs he promotes?
No, he does not. See ourPrivacy Policy and Terms of Usefor further clarification on this matter. Basically, Mr. Behning is willing to refer to a program as a Strong Model program if the owners and management of the program seek to operate their program, regardless of its philosophy of change, by the logical dictates of the Strong Model. He does not seek to alter a program’s philophy of change. However, in order to feel comfortable promoting them he must see a concerted effort to ensure that all employees, from line staff to executive management, comprehend concepts of Strong Model Interaction and Intervention. If a program feels, from a therapeutic management perspective, that they don’t need such structure, that’s fine. However, they won’t be promoted by Mr. Behning. Though he will recommend Strong Model programs to parents and professionals, he still strongly advises parents to research all possible options before placing their children into any treatment program.
