Our Services
Police Partnerships
NEDFYS social workers and counselors are a support, not a substitute for police response when it is requested or when community safety requires it. Our partnership with police serves as a model for other communities who want to prevent crime, save lives, rebuild families, and restore hope.
Community Programs
At NEDFYS, we value our ability to connect with the community through training and workshops. Training and workshops are conducted by NEDFYS staff and are tailored to focus on our agency impact, mental health disorders, and community-based violence prevention issues. In addition, Prevention efforts with local youth.
School Based Programs
NEDFYS partners with local schools to provide school-based individual and/or group therapy for children and adolescents. Services occur during the school day, onsite at the school. Services occur weekly or as indicated. All of our school-based therapy services are supervised by licensed, clinical therapists.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) focuses on providing assistance to youth that experienced emotional and behavioral problems because of traumatic life events. Studies have shown TF-CBT sessions resulted in behavioral improvement in youth when it comes to dealing with anxiety, depression, and social competence.
