Residential "Safe Havens" One of the most stressful experiences a child -- and family -- may have to deal with is being separated from home and each other, regardless of the circumstances or the age of the child. The caring staff of YCS is extremely sensitive to this fact, and recognizes that the children who come into a residence need special care. From the day of a child's admission, our staff of therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, nurses, and other childcare professionals begins treating both the child and, wherever possible, the family. YCS offers many safe havens to the most vulnerable members of our society. Each of our residences provides a loving, nurturing environment for at-risk children, teens and young adults. While in the "home away from home" YCS helps the child learn appropriate behaviors by providing a structured and positive atmosphere where small successes are rewarded consistently. In the next placement, the child should be able to build on progress already made and continue to build on strengths. YCS can help with a full complement of safe havens. Placement is based on the needs of the child and family. Please see our individual program listings for more complete information, available through the drop-down menu, called "Program Quick Link."
