Our Story
About Tem's Behavioral Health Services
We are an ODP-approved provider dedicated to empowering individuals with IDD and Autism to live full, self-directed lives in their own communities across Southeast Pennsylvania.
Who We Are
Tem's Behavioral Health Services is an approved provider through the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs (ODP), proudly serving individuals in the Southeast Region of Pennsylvania. Our agency is dedicated to providing high-quality, person-centered supports that promote independence, dignity, and community inclusion.
We serve adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and Autism, accepting Community Living Waiver, Consolidated Waiver, and P/FDS Waiver. Our team brings genuine care, clinical integrity, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve across Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
Our Mission
To empower, support, and stand alongside the individuals we serve through high-quality, person-centered behavioral health services that promote independence, safety, stability, and well-being. We deliver compassionate, trauma-informed support that honors every voice, respects each person's goals and preferences, and strengthens connection to family and community. Through reliable service, clinical integrity, and genuine care, we help each person build the skills, confidence, and supports they need to thrive.
Our Vision
A community where every individual can access behavioral health support that respects their independence, dignity, and personal choice — and where seeking that support is met with understanding rather than stigma. Tem's Behavioral Health Services envisions inclusive communities grounded in dignity, understanding, and shared humanity where person-centered behavioral health services are recognized as essential supports that change the course of people's lives.
Our Core Values
These values shape how we plan, deliver, and evaluate every service — guiding day-to-day judgment in the field as much as long-term strategy.
Person-Centered Care
We put each individual's goals, preferences, and routines at the heart of every service. Support is built around the person in front of us, not a standard checklist.
Inclusion
We celebrate diversity and make sure every individual feels seen, heard, and respected as a full member of the community. No one is left out of decisions that affect their care or their daily life.
Dignity & Respect
We treat every individual and family member with the empathy, compassion, and respect they deserve. Being trusted with someone's care is a privilege, and we never lose sight of that.
Collaboration
We build strong partnerships with individuals, families, Supports Coordinators, and the broader community to deliver coordinated, meaningful behavioral health support.
Integrity
We lead with honesty, transparency, and accountability in everything we do — including how we document care, safeguard private information, and communicate openly about what was done and what comes next.
Excellence
We are committed to growth, innovation, and continuous improvement so we can deliver the highest standard of behavioral health service. Reliability, follow-through, and consistency are the foundations of the trust we build.
Empowerment
We believe in the strengths and choices of every person we serve. Our role is to support — not to take over. We help each individual stay in control of their own care, their own routines, and the way they want to live.
