Make Treatment Possible

Our Mission at Youth Home, Inc.

Youth Home is a Tricare-Certified® psychiatric treatment center for youth with severe behavioral disorders and mental illnesses. We're a 501(3) (c) nonprofit organization.

Our mission is to equip and empower youth, adults, and families to become healthier and contributing members of the community by providing compassionate psychiatric and behavioral health care. Our program is well-design and has continually improving with our adoption of the Trauma Informed Care approach, providing a safe and therapeutic environment for your kids. 

Many individuals and families do not qualify for funding assistance or do not have adequate insurance to pay for treatment. While Medicaid covers a portion of the daily expenses for our 78 residential patients, there is still a shortfall that totals nearly $1.5 million per year. Your gift reduces costs, allowing Youth Home to help those who need help the most. Join our effort to change lives and save families.

Matching Gifts

Many companies offer matching gift programs to their employees, and some offer the option to retirees. These companies will send a donation that matches, doubles or triples the amount an employee gives to Youth Home. To see if your company has a matching gift program, ask your human resources department.

Fund A Program

Help fund specialized treatment approaches like equine therapy. Equine therapy is a life changing opportunity. Youth Home's partnership with another nonprofit enhances the life skills of our teens through teamwork with the horses and staff as well as incorporating weekly confidence building activities in a recreational setting.

We continually seek new and inventive ways to provide therapy for patients. Equine therapy lessons help adolescents advance in their individualized treatment plans and become healthier contributing members of our community.
