Youth and Families First was founded on October 31, 2008. Our mission is providing youth and families with the hope that tomorrow can be better than today, by empowering youth and families for life long success, inspiring hope in individuals, and fostering strong community connections. We will provide high quality practice based evidence programs, founded on unconditional positive regard, and utilizing a strengths based skills teaching model. Programs we have are: LGBTQ counseling services: We provide individual, family and group counseling, peer support, mentoring and behavior coaching for youth and young adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning. Direct Support Services: We provide Behavior Coaching to youth and families who are at risk and may have multi-systemic involvement. We partner with the youth in a variety of different needs in the location that best fits the youth and their family. Mentoring: The mentoring program offered by Youth and Families First exists for the purpose of providing “at- risk” youth, ages 7 – 22 and their families with the hope that tomorrow can be better than today. This is done by empowering youth and families for lifelong success, inspiring hope in individuals, and fostering strong community connections.
