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