who we serve and where we serve
TYS is designed for youth who fall between traditional outpatient services and more restrictive levels of care—and who can remain safely placed when stabilization, regulation and caregiver capacity are restored.
TYS services are currently available in North Carolina, specifically in Wake, Buncombe, and Jackson counties; the Upstate, Midlands, and Peedee areas of South Carolina; and Hillsborough County, Florida.
