TYFS Community Based Youth Therapy
Our continuum's next level of care – Van Vleck House, a residential program – still operates as preventive and community-based healing. The child receives care immediately, is close to their home environment and schools, and is kept within the community and connected with their family and friends. 80% of youth who receive treatment and support through the TYFS residential programs find the help they need and will not require higher levels of care.
Van Vleck Services Include
Crisis Shelter & Holding Facility
Group Home
Empowered Minds: Therapeutic & Academic Support Program

TYFS Residential Treatment Facility
The highest level of treatment is through our institutionalized services at Red Top Meadows Residential Treatment Center, where male youth receive support away from their home and community through our Residential and Wilderness Therapy services. Boys may spend up to a year in supervised care with the licensed and qualified Red Top counselors and staff, creating a new path to return to their homes.
Red Top Services Include
Residential Treatment Program for Boys
Therapeutic Wilderness Experiences
Our Residential Treatment Center is the final stage on our continuum before youth are required to seek a higher level of care beyond TYFS in hardware secure facilities, where they remain until their institutionalization is determined no longer medically needed or the courts order a release. These secured detention centers require much more substantial resources and support a significantly smaller population. Finding ways to prevent this extreme level of care, like TYFS’s crucial services and centers, saves the state money that could be strategically re-invested into the system. It also means that youth who have experienced a childhood of hardship can receive the proper, trauma-informed help they need.
