CTYS helps troubled youth with nowhere left to turn. Youth, who just about everyone else have given up on, find hope at CTYS and a chance to change their lives. CTYS is a solace for young people, whether they are trying to cope with mental illness, are in conflict with the law, or are emotionally troubled and struggling with self-identity. These youth would literally be lost without the agency’s help.

Our Clients Stories

“There were those who wanted to see me institutionalized permanently. But CTYS saw hope in me,” says Rob, a former client. As a teen he was bounced between social service agencies. Many thought the mentally troubled youth was ‘unfixable’. But a CTYS counselllor saw a spark others had missed. Today Rob works helping homeless youth. “CTYS’ faith and hope in me, led me to this point.”
