About Helping Hands Behavioral Outreach
Helping Hands Behavioral Outreach (HHBO) is a nonprofit organization committed to enhancing the lives of children and families through social engagement, skill development, and meaningful community experiences.
At the same time, HHBO serves as a training ground for future professionals in psychology, behavior analysis, and related helping professions—providing real-world experience rooted in mentorship, ethics, and service.
Who We Serve
Children do not need a specific diagnosis to participate. Programs are designed to be inclusive and responsive to different developmental levels and support needs. HHBO serves:
Children with a wide range of social, emotional, and developmental needs
Families seeking supportive, structured social programs
Students and trainees preparing for careers in psychology, behavior analysis, education, and related fields
Volunteers who want to make a meaningful impact
Our Dual Mission: Service & Training
Helping Hands Behavioral Outreach operates with a dual purpose:
Supporting Children and Families
We offer social skill–based group programs that promote communication, emotional regulation, peer interaction, and confidence in a supportive setting.
Training the Next Generation of Professionals
HHBO provides supervised, hands-on learning opportunities for students and emerging professionals, allowing them to:
● Gain experience working with children in group settings
● Learn how to support diverse needs ethically and respectfully
● Develop leadership, collaboration, and communication skills
● Understand the importance of service and community engagement
Many of our trainees go on to become professionals who continue to volunteer, mentor others, and give back to the communities they serve.
Our programs are:
● Skill-based and goal-oriented
● Structured, supportive, and flexible
● Group-based with individualized attention
● Designed to promote growth through practice and positive interaction
Helping Hands Behavioral Outreach does not provide clinical treatment or therapy. Our focus is on social development, community support, and experiential learning, not diagnosis or medical services.
