These services are offered through various programs:
Community Youth Services (CYS) is a school-based crisis intervention and case coordination program offered in 13 school districts and in the community. The goal of the CYS program is to prevent school aged youth from becoming victims of child abuse, running away, dropping out of school or entering into delinquent behavior.
