Northeast Youth & Family Services
NYFS services fall into two categories: mental health services and youth development
programs. By serving both areas within our agency, we can provide a continuum of care.
This has proven beneficial because although mental health and youth development have
similar goals, their distinctions also complement each other.
Contracted Services
Mental Health Services:
■ Mental Health Counseling — licensed mental health staff provide therapy for the
emotional health of children, teens and adults.
Youth Development Programs:
• Youth Diversion — a coordinated range of services for youth who have committed
minor offenses (e.g. shoplifting, chemical/alcohol use, vandalism) to help them
focus on positive behavior and prevent recidivism.
• Senior Chore Program — youth and other adults complete seasonal and household
tasks to help seniors remain independent.
Non Contracted Services
Mental Health Services:
Northeast Educational & Therapeutic Services (NETS) — provides academics and
therapy for youth with mental illnesses who can not function in traditional school
environments in grades 6 -12.
REACHAcademy - program run in collaboration with the Mounds View School
District that provides academic instruction and therapeutic support to middle and
high school youth receiving special education services.
Youth Development Programs:
■ Out of School Time — underperforming youth receive support to increase grades,
explore career and educational opportunities, and develop leadership in the
community.
