Chuck Morris's Company Details
Every Alaska child and teen deserves a chance to thrive in a world full of opportunity, but sometimes that takes a little help. Juneau Youth Services assists Alaska's most vulnerable populations. JYS helps youth and families develop the tools necessary to succeed. Operating since 1961, we provide emergency, residential and community-based mental health and substance use services, collectively known as behavioral health care. JYS provides individualized, strengths-based services to children and their families, in the most comfortable and least restrictive setting. The programs at JYS simulate home-like environments that emphasize the development of positive, nurturing relationships. The primary goal is to maintain or reunite the child with their family whenever it's in the best interest of the child. JYS employs a team of approximately 70 people, including behavioral health and clinical professionals. Our philosophy is contained in the nationally recognized Teaching Family Model. It prioritizes therapeutic relationships with JYS caregivers as the primary providers of effective treatment in supportive, family-style settings. With 60 years of experience, we are the leading youth and family-focused behavioral health provider in Juneau.
