Y-CAP is an early intervention and prevention program for youth ages 10-15 who have been referred to us either through the juvenile court system or the school system. Each student and their family has a personalized treatment plan which addresses their educational, behavioral, and spiritual needs, including mentoring, tutoring, hot meals, family nights and group therapy.

Y-CAP Outcomes

Noticeably improved behavior at school and home, fewer juvenile court appearances, academic improvements and more.
