Mission Statement
Dontate now to Helping Hands Behavioral Outreach

We, at Helping Hands Behavioral Outreach (HHBO) are on a mission to change the lives of people with needs.  Our open minds and hearts have guided us to build an agency to be proud of.  HHBO is a place where participants are afforded their rights to feel united, accepted, supported and secure.  Helping Hands Behavioral Outreach, a nonprofit human service agency, was formed in 2004 by a small group of highly trained experts in Autism, applied behavior analysis, special education and administration.

Our promise is to:
  • Provide comprehensive support services that match individual needs.
  • Respect participant’s rights and ensure that all staff is aware of them at all times.
  • Advocate for each participant during difficult times of life and treat each situation as we would in our own lives.
  • Ensure an environment free from abuse and neglect.
  • Never discriminate against any participant for any reason (e.g., religion, race, sex, and medical condition).
  • Promote a sense of family, home and peer support so that each participant feels a true belonging.
  • Create a true social atmosphere for participants to feel proud of.
  • Foster independence in all areas of life.
  • Put the needs of the participants first.
  • Utilize quality trained, and above all caring staff members, to support the participants.
  • Teach participants the importance of peer support.
  • Find peer mentors to volunteer of all ages.
  • View each participant’s physical, social and emotional progress in terms of their own unique potentials so that their gains are never overlooked.
  • Search for personally meaningful potential reinforcers or preferences that each participant has.
  • Provide recreation and fun as an integral part of life.
  • Create challenges and provide rewards to keep the lives of the participants interesting.
  • Unite community members with participants and their families.
  • Emphasize the importance of person centered planning.
