TLC Youth Crisis Services

To expand our outreach care program to serve youth in crisis who have fallen between the cracks of existing social service programs, TLC began our Youth Crisis Services Program. This program serves youth ages 12-17, who have runaway, been pushed out of their homes, or are otherwise homeless, or may be experiencing family conflict. Intervention specialists are available 24 hours a day to provide crisis mediation/intervention, situational counseling, resource referral, and emergency shelter when needed. Three months of follow up services are also available.

2006 Year in Review...

• 351 youth and families served
• 124 youth acessed TLC's emergency shelters

Mission:

To provide youth immediate access to crisis intervention that resolves and/or alleviates disruptions to the family system.

Vision:

That every “family system” will be a nurturing environment, promote strong interdependent relationships and encourage pro-social attitudes in youth.
