During the mid 1970's law enforcement agencies across the country were looking for ways to hold youth accountable for their actions without sending them through the juvenile system or labeling them as "delinquents." As a result, the Youth Service Bureau was born.

Today, YSB remains true to the ideals of its founders. Youth continue to be held accountable and coached as they make amends to those hurt by their behavior. And parents continue to get the support they need to guide their children through challenging times.

Services Offered

Youth-Focused Family Counseling

At Youth Service Bureau, our goal is to address concerns early to prevent them from growing larger in the future.

Counseling services are intended to help young people who are struggling with challenges in their lives. Parents and caregivers are also involved in counseling sessions and receive support and encouragement along the way.

During sessions youth and families will develop strategies to resolve immediate problems and prevent future ones. To do this, we build on individual and family strengths and help coordinate services with others.

Chemical Health

Electronic cigarettes, stimulants, synthetic drugs and more - the temptations and pressures which teens face expand and evolve. Yet, chemical use is not just a "normal" part of adolescence and cannot be ignored.

Teen brains are at greater risk for developing substance use disorders and addiction. However, that risk decreases each year substance use is delayed during adolescence. That's why YSB's chemical health programs focus on prevention, education and early intervention.
