Coaches Program

We're Here to Guide You

Life is filled with challenges, particularly for youth who face issues such as a lack of consistent support, behavioral health concerns, and barriers in accessing essential mental health services. 

This is where our Coaches step in.

Our Coaches Program is tailored to provide personalized guidance to youth and their families, steering them through the intricate and sometimes overwhelming systems of care.

Turning Challenges into Milestones

Through our program, a dedicated SAYS Coach will be assigned to assist. These Coaches understand the unique challenges faced by youth and their primary role is to provide personalized guidance, helping youth and families navigate the complex systems.

Crafting a Path Forward

In collaboration with you and your family, our Coaches will formulate a plan of action tailored to your specific needs and aspirations. Their compassionate support and actionable advice will empower you to reach your potential and enhance your overall well-being.

Aspirations Guided by Our Coaches

Together with youth and families, our Coaches work to devise a strategy tailored to address specific needs and objectives. Our primary goal is to avoid the necessity for more intensive out-of-home care. Our Coaches extend heartfelt support and actionable advice, empowering youth and families to thrive and achieve their goals.
