Youth and Families First is a newly formed non-profit, Direct Services Provider. We provide intensive direct support services to youth and families who are at risk and may have multisystemic involvement. We partner with youth with a variety of different needs and in the locations that best fit the youth and their family. Some of these include, but are not limited to the following: youth with mental and behavioral health issues, those who are part of the Juvenile Justice system, youth who are in out of home placement or are returning to their home or community from out of home placement, and youth that struggle with behavioral issues at home, school, or in their community. Because we believe that “youth and families do well when they can” we believe in partnering with youth, families, and in identifying and utilizing natural supports to help teach them new skills that can help empower and promote independence for successful living.
