Youth Service Bureau Agency History
The Youth Service Bureau (YSB) was created in 1977 and has many years of experience providing comprehensive services to youth and their families aimed at the preservation of the family unit. 

Since its inception, the YSB has had a strong community base and has relied on funding from a variety of state, federal, and local sources to provide crisis intervention, temporary residential placement, and counseling services to youth and their families.


Services provided include:

• 24-hour crisis intervention
• Individual and family counseling
• Outreach
• Advocacy
• Temporary residential placement
• Information and referral service
• Linkage to other agencies and community services
• Resource development

The primary goal of these services are directed toward the preservation and/or reunification of families and diverting youth from the child welfare and/or juvenile justice systems.
