Programs
All of our programs target youth who find themselves in situations beyond their control. That's where we step in. By providing the right program on an individual basis, we ensure that these young people do not slip through the cracks.
Outreach, Advocacy, and Diversion
Youth often need short term outreach intervention as an alternative to juvenile justice involvement. This program gives families access to professional assistance to help their children make better choices. It also serves as a resource to local law enforcement agencies to care for youth as an alternative to incarceration when family is unavailable.
Emergency Shelter
MYFS Emergency Shelter Program serves young people aged ten to
seventeen years of age who require an alternative to home for a short
period of time. MYFS utilizes closes linkages with and referral to other
community agencies and services as our staff addresses basic needs of
the child as we work to strengthen families. Once a youth returns home,
staff follow-up with them and provide referrals needed to enhance functioning.
Therapeutic Foster Home
Our homes provide a normative, community-based environment through therapeutic parental supervision, guidance and support for youth capable of demonstrating growth in such a setting. Therapeutic foster care parents are trained to provide a positive behavioral support parenting model and work in conjunction with a program therapist.
Tobacco, Alcohol, Drug, Pregnancy Prevention Program
MYFS works hand-in-hand with schools and other community partners to provide youth and young adults with the skills and knowledge to make positive choices that support healthy lifestyles.
Intensive Services
This program provides quality educational services to students who have a disability and exhibit severe social, communication and behavioral deficits.
Outpatient Independent Living Program
This service assists youth in the Foster Care system to achieve the skills necessary to lead a successful, independent life.
