Northeast Youth & Family Services <br />NYFS services fall into three categories: mental health services and youth development <br />services and community case management services. By providing services in these areas <br />within one agency, we can provide a continuum of care. This has proven beneficial because <br />although mental health, youth development and community case management services 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 />Youth Development Services: <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 therapy and <br />academic support for youth in grades 6-12 with severe mental illnesses who can not <br />function in traditional school environments. <br />Community Case Management Services: <br />■ Community Case Management — helps households access and utilize resources to <br />reduce stress. <br />
