Community Youth Services WISe for Transitional Age Youth (TAY)
TAY-WISe is a program for emerging adults ages 20 and under. Here, we elevate youth to be active agents in their own mental health and prepare for the transition to independence. TAY offers counseling when and where a youth needs it. We work with youth to create a plan that will help them to stabilize and achieve their goals. Treatment
is outcome-based, individualized and adaptable to meet their specific needs while also being informed by the research on the most effective interventions. TAY offers a
treatment team approach for those in need of more intensive services. Youth with multiple systems involvement benefit from care coordination that helps navigate needs and work towards youth-inspired outcomes. Peer counseling supports youth and
families with new skills learned in therapy to overcome barriers and maintain recovery. Contact: CYS Integrated Counseling Division at [email protected] or 360-918-7860; https://communityyouthservices.org/behavioral-health-and-wellness/
Community Youth Services Multisystemic Therapy (MST) for ages 12 through 17
years
MST is an evidence-based practice with over 30 years and 18 studies of research that shows it is effective in providing an intensive home and community-based treatment to help families reduce acting out behaviors in their 12-17 year old, keep them in the home and attending school, and decrease the risk for arrest or getting into trouble. MST is a 3-5 month co-occurring treatment that is recognized by 24 groups worldwide, including SAMHSA, NIDA, CSAP, and CSAT. The MST model and 9 principles guide treatment as the therapist empowers the caregiver(s) to individualize developmentally appropriate interventions that will be most effective for their family while utilizing their strengths to create sustainable progress. Family members, in addition to the youth, work actively to achieve goals to decrease identified problems and increase positive changes for long-term success. MST provides services to the client and family 24 hours per day, 7 days
per week, when and where those services are needed with frequent contact with families (usually 2+ sessions per week). Contact: CYS Integrated Counseling Division at [email protected] or 360-918-7860; https://communityyouthservices.org/behavioral-health-and-wellness/
