Yamhill County Family and Youth Program

About Yamhill County Family and Youth Program

The Yamhill County Family and Youth Program, located in Mcminnville, Oregon serves youth ages 0 to 18 and their families with mental health services, treatment for co occurring disorders, and family support services. They use outpatient evidence based treatment to help youth and families heal.

For youth covered by Medicaid, services are available free of charge. If you have other insurance, you can use that to cover services. You can talk to the office directly to set up payment options.

Mental Health Groups and Counseling for Youth in Yamhill County

Evidence based counseling is the foundation of the program, and that includes group therapy. I noticed that the Family and Youth Program has specific groups and individual counselors for those with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. That makes sense because co-occurring disorders require a specialized, integrated approach in order to reach long term recovery.

I also like that the Program has parent support groups. They can help you address common parenting challenges, understand the struggles your child is facing, and give parenting tips to help you relate to your child in a healthy way even if they struggle with mental health or addiction issues.

School Based Services for Young People

The Family and Youth Program also has an impressive array of school based programs. They offer crisis screenings and consultation with school staff to address concerns with any student. They also have case management services and support for IEP/504 planning.

Youth also have a chance to participate in school based skill building as well as mental health and social education programs. Parents have access to school based parenting classes and support. Professionals also meet with teachers and school leaders to provide education programs and support with challenging students.
