Residential Treatment
JYS provides residential treatment for youth ages 12 to 18. We have separate boys and girls units on our Juneau campus. A co-ed unit will be opening in 2021. Residents receive individual, group and family counseling. They also go through skill-building and educational programming, according to their treatment plans.
Our residential programs use the Teaching Family Model, an evidence-based, trauma-responsive care model. It prioritizes the relationships youth have with caregivers, who assist them in developing skills necessary to succeed outside of a residential environment.
Contact The Link at (907) 789-7610, Link@jys.org or (907) 789-8443 (fax). if you would like more information or to make a referral. We accept youth throughout Alaska into our residential programs.
