We take a holistic approach
We teach youth the mental health competencies and skills to navigate life’s many challenges, and also teach families to know when, where, why and how to seek help when needed. Students feel heard, safe, and cared for while developing a path forward with new skills and perspectives.
If you or someone you know is having a mental health crisis, call 988 or 911
RYC provides individual, low-to-no cost counseling to youth, ages 5-22.
Our clinicians counsel young people for up to six months, often together with their parents, providing a collaborative approach to improving their circumstances.
