Youth in need of immediate assistance can go to locations displaying the yellow Safe Place sign, where a trained volunteer will come meet the youth to assist in defusing the crisis. Family Preservation YSB provides intensive home-based counseling to families at risk of abuse or neglect, or youth at risk of running away. We also offer a six-week parenting class and support group. YSB is an active participant in Wrap Around, a program that tailors local social services to a family's needs after representatives from various agencies review the family's specific situation. Whenever feasible, maintaining the family unit as a functional entity is our goal.
Family preservation is always the preferred outcome.
