Our Programs
Youth Services of Creek County offers comprehensive support for children, youth, and families across Creek County. From school-based therapy to emergency shelter, we meet young people where they are and help them build brighter futures.
School-Based Services
School-based counseling services are provided throughout several school districts within Creek County. Our services are geared toward addressing many of the issues that adolescents deal with in their everyday lives. We offer individual and group counseling options.
Referral of a student can come from anyone (parent/guardian, school personnel, friend); however, the parent/guardian is contacted when a counselor makes first contact with the referred student.

Parenting Classes
The programs feature activities to foster positive parenting skills and self-nurturing, home practice exercises, family nurturing time, and activities to promote positive brain development in children from birth to 18 years. Lessons can be delivered in a home-based setting, a group-based setting, or a combination of both home and group settings.
Parents and children attend separate groups that meet concurrently, designed to build self-awareness, positive concept/self-esteem, and build levels of empathy; teach alternatives to hitting and yelling; enhance family communication and awareness of needs; replace abusive behaviors with nurturing behaviors; promote healthy physical and emotional development; and teach appropriate role and developmental expectations.
Shelter (CERC)
The Children’s Emergency Resource Center (shelter) provides temporary housing for children in foster care, custody of the Office of Juvenile Affairs, runaway/homeless youth, and children in the community. The overall goal of this program is to provide basic needs to homeless children, an education, and teach life and coping skills for self-sustainability. The CERC also provides a 24-hour crisis phone line. Children and families receiving crisis intervention services are offered counseling, resources, and referrals.
Children living in the shelter attend in-person public school, have after-school tutoring on site at YSCC four days a week, learn life, coping, and social skills, attend therapy, receive routine check-ups such as eye, dentist, and doctor appointments, participate in recreational therapy, and have all basic needs met. Most of the children residing in the shelter have been in foster care for several years and have disrupted their previous placement. Most of the children have a mental health diagnosis that requires them to take daily medication and often multiple medications. These diagnoses’ include ADHD, ODD, PTSD, and anxiety and depressive disorders.
Next Step Program
In partnership with local municipalities, the Next Step Program provides specialized support for at-risk youth. When courts, schools, or community leaders say "there's nothing available for this young person," we offer an answer.
