Program Description

The Youth Trauma Clinic (YTC) is a walk-in clinic that provides mental health counseling and case management to youth, ages 0-21, who have encountered a trauma which can include child abuse, neglect, death of a loved one, bullying, pandemic effects and experiencing or witnessing violence in the home, school, or neighborhood. One of the goals is to eliminate the wait times many service providers in the area have; therefore, the aim is to start support within 24 hours of first contact. YTC has therapists who work with the youth to reduce traumatic stress symptoms and minimize any physical, social, and emotional concerns. Case Managers also offer extra support to youth needing help with school, attendance, schoolwork, and finding resources such as clothing, housing, transportation, and other community resources.
