About YSS Youth and Shelter Services Marshall County
YSS of Marshall County uses a community-based approach to support the youth of Marshalltown, Iowa. Their list of services is long and includes substance abuse and mental health counseling, homeless services, and supportive housing programs. Their office is in the heart of metropolitan Marshalltown and is easily accessible by public transit. They work with most major insurance carriers and can set up a custom payment plan if you need it.
Their licensed therapists work with individuals, families and couples either in person or online. I appreciate that they offer both English and Spanish-language counseling. They offer intervention services for folks who are in crisis. They also work with youth involved with the juvenile court.
YSS has been in Marshalltown for over 40 years. It’s easy to get started. Just make one phone call, and they’ll set you up with a qualified provider as soon as possible.
YSS offers OWI evaluations which is a substance abuse assessment. In this confidential interview, you’ll sit down with a certified counselor to discuss your substance use and relevant history. You might also take a drug test. After the assessment, the counselor will come up with a treatment plan that will help you move towards recovery. They can also arrange for psychiatric evaluations if they feel you need one.
I think it’s beneficial that YSS specializes in different therapies. They provide play and art therapy, parent-child counseling, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). YSS of Marshall County also offers equine therapy where you can learn empathy and responsibility by caring for horses. Studies show that being around horses reduces stress and other mental health symptoms. Led by a YSS therapist, you’ll be able to work through your issues with the support of horses.
They work closely with the Marshalltown Police Department. Their IMPACT program sends YSS social workers alongside police officers to respond to mental illness, substance use, or family conflicts that involve emotional confrontations. Having a social worker attend these calls often decreases the unnecessary arrests and use of force and can make the situation much less stressful for the patient.
