Not in Your Area?

For intensive in-home treatment, our counselors must be based close enough to a child’s home to make regular visits and be readily available to the child and his or her family. See map to learn more.

We accept children into our residential treatment programs from many different areas of the country. If contracts are in place, funding is provided by state Medicaid. Otherwise single-case agreements are developed with state, county or municipal governments, a board of education, etc.
If you are a referring professional interested in our residential services, please inquire here.
If you are affiliated with your state’s child welfare, juvenile justice or mental health systems and would like to learn more about bringing Youth Villages’ home- and community-based services to your state, please visit about our “Solutions for States” page on this site.
If you are a parent or guardian simply looking for help with your child or teen’s emotional or behavioral problems, please visit our family resource center on this site.
