Building a sound strategy for your ministry

Partner with Youth Crisis to Develop Comprehensive and Compassionate Programs

Is your church, camp, Christian school, or non-profit equipped to effectively respond to youth mental health crises?  At Youth Crisis, we understand the unique challenges faced by faith-based organizations and youth-serving institutions when dealing with mental health emergencies, and we're here to help.

We offer customized consultations designed to assess your current systems and develop proactive strategies to prevent crises and support young people when they need it most.  Our team of experienced professionals will work collaboratively with you to:

• Assess your current capacity: We’ll evaluate your existing programs and procedures to identify strengths and areas for improvement in crisis response.
• Develop a comprehensive crisis response plan: We'll help you create a tailored plan that aligns with your organization's values and resources. This will include identifying key personnel, establishing communication protocols, and outlining strategies for intervention and follow-up.
• Train your staff and volunteers: We’ll provide customized training sessions to equip your staff and volunteers with the skills and knowledge to effectively respond to youth in crisis. This may include recognizing warning signs, providing immediate support, and connecting young people with appropriate resources.
• Integrate faith-based perspectives: We’ll work with you to create a response that honors your organization's faith-based approach to care and support.
• Establish clear pathways to professional help: We'll help you identify and develop relationships with mental health professionals and other resources that you can refer students to.
