Youth & Family Services

Our youth-centered behavioral health and family support programs serve as critical referral pathways for school counselors, child welfare agencies, juvenile courts, and youth shelters.

Mentorship Programs

Trauma-informed, community-based mentorship for youth experiencing behavioral challenges, foster care, parental separation, or chronic absenteeism. Services include academic support, social-emotional learning, and identity development.

Parenting Support

Family stabilization programming includes evidence-based parenting education, family reunification support, and skills-building workshops to promote healthy boundaries, attachment, and resilience in the home

Teen Health Education

Professional educators deliver health literacy, STI prevention, consent, risk reduction efforts, emotional wellness curricula in school and after-school settings. Referring agencies may request custom sessions

School Outreach

We provide in-school behavioral health support and case management in collaboration with school staff. Services help reduce behavioral referrals, increase student engagement, and improve outcomes for at-risk youth.

Safe Spaces

Drop-in centers provide youth with leadership training, and peer counseling. Often recommended for youth experiencing housing instability, bullying, or family rejection.
