Youth Crisis Centers
Youth Crisis Centers (YCC) are safe places for youth, ages 12-17, to go to by choice if they are having emotional distress, psychiatric symptoms, substance use challenges, or other life stressors. Each YCC is expanding to include youth ages 5-17; call your local YCC for details.
- YCCs are open 24/7/365

- Parents and caregivers may also receive education and support
- School Resource Officers or Police Officers may transport youth from schools to the centers
- A parent or guardian must be available upon a youth's admission
- Services for youth are 100% voluntary and free of charge
