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 and Advocacy
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
The MYFS Emergency Shelter Program serves young people aged ten to seventeen who require an alternative to home for a short period of time. Our shelter provides 24-hour care in a safe, family-based setting where youth can find the stability and security they need to address their problems and reconnect with family and community.
Therapeutic Foster Home
Our homes provide a normative, community-based environment through parental supervision, guidance and support for youth capable of demonstrating growth in family-based setting. Therapeutic Foster Care parents are trained to provide positive behavioral support directed at improving the youths ability to cope with daily stressors, managing emotions and strengthening family relationships.
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.
Outpatient Independent Living Program
This service assists youth in the Foster Care system to achieve the skills necessary to lead a successful, independent life.
Intensive Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment
This program addresses a recognized need in Maui County to break the vicious cycle of substance abuse among youth. Individualized substance abuse treatment is provided for youth ages 12-17 years old and their families, and includes counseling, family support, education about addiction, as well as activities that reflect Hawaiian cultural values.
