Behavioral Health Services · Mentor, Ohio
Building Strength,
Inspiring Healing.
B2I Behavioral Health Services provides clinically supervised behavioral health programs for youth ages 8 and up — including the Forge Youth Initiative (FYI) and Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services (PRS). Led by Coach Ivan, QBHS, under the supervision of 2 LISW-S.
Our approach
Whole-Body Healing — Because Kids Weren't Built to Sit Still
Traditional behavioral health treatment places hyperactive, energetic youth in a chair and expects them to engage. We take a holistic approach. At B2I, we integrate somatic movement, physical wellness, and evidence-based therapeutic intervention — because whole-body engagement is one of the most clinically effective environments for youth behavioral health treatment.
For many youth, psychotropic medication has been the default response to behavioral dysregulation. B2I offers a clinically grounded alternative — structured somatic intervention that supports emotional regulation, reduces the need for pharmacological management, and builds the self-regulation skills youth need to thrive. Sessions are led by Coach Ivan, a Qualified Behavioral Health Specialist, under the clinical supervision of 2 Licensed Independent Social Workers with Supervisory designation (LISW-S). Our primary format is group therapeutic sessions — building peer connection alongside clinical growth — with individual sessions available when clinically indicated.
Forge Youth Initiative (FYI)
The Forge Youth Initiative — Moving Youth Forward
The Forge Youth Initiative (FYI) delivers Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) for youth with complex behavioral health needs who require intensive, community-based clinical support. B2I is a proud FYI/TBS provider serving the Mentor, Ohio area.
Who qualifies
Youth ages 8 and up with significant behavioral health challenges who would benefit from intensive, individualized therapeutic support in their community.
What it involves
Primarily group therapeutic sessions — with individual sessions available when clinically indicated — integrating somatic movement and physical wellness activities as evidence-informed modalities that support emotional regulation, cognitive focus, and resilience-building.
Why it works when nothing else has
Sedentary therapy is clinically challenging for youth with hyperactivity, emotional dysregulation, or disengagement. Somatic and movement-based intervention changes the therapeutic equation — providing a regulated, purposeful outlet that enhances clinical outcomes and treatment adherence.
PRS Program
Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services — Accessible Support for Every Youth
PRS is a baseline, standard Medicaid State Plan benefit. Any youth with a standard Medicaid card and a basic DSM-5 mental health diagnosis — ADHD, generalized anxiety, mild depression — should qualify. No high-acuity threshold, no complex authorization.
Who qualifies
Any youth on Medicaid with a basic DSM-5 diagnosis qualifies. ADHD, generalized anxiety, and mild depression are enough. PRS is designed to serve a wide range of youth — not just those with severe or complex behavioral health needs.
What it involves
PRS focuses on building practical life skills: emotional regulation, social interaction, community integration, and daily functioning. Sessions are structured, goal-oriented, and delivered in a supportive, community-based environment.
How it complements the Forge Youth Initiative
While the Forge Youth Initiative (FYI) provides intensive clinical intervention for youth with complex behavioral needs, PRS serves a broader population — offering structured skill-building support that helps youth develop independence and resilience at every level.
PRS is available to youth enrolled in Medicaid. No severe behavioral diagnosis required. If your child is on Medicaid, reach out — they may qualify right now.
