Youth Programs
The Youth Villages
Youth Villages was founded in the unification of two treatment campuses way back 1986. This program aims to build strong families through complete range of services and programs. From the start Youth Villages was working hard to seek and implement treatment based on the evidence, which significantly improve long-term success. Their organization mission is simple, and that is to help children as well as their families to live successfully.
Their purpose is to treat hard-to-place and hard-to-help children, emotional problems along with co-occurring medical problems, children who have rigorous performance behaviors and even children who have sexual behavior problems. Youth villages also helps emotionally disturbed youths with developmental disabilities as well as children who suffer sensitive medication. Since this non-profit organization helps troubled children behaviorally and emotionally and their families to live fruitfully, they ensure that their values are always being practiced such as children’s needs always come first and they are raised by their own families. Additionally, they provide safe place for treatment and care to achieve positive results. Youth Villages helps children up to 22 years old, but youth age between 12 and 17 are the major recipients of their services. Organization’s goal is to help them due to their behavioral and emotional disorders, sexual abuse, and even substance abuse.
Every community must have organizations that aim to help children who are in need of special care and services in addition that their families can give. This is to ensure that there will be such facilities and organizations that will help the government achieve their goals through its community programs. As such, Youth Villages is responsible in providing these help to children in the community by supplementing treatment and care for better and more successful life that has a long-term effect.
