Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Training Program
YFSA separates itself from other counseling agencies via our long standing training programs for professional staff. Staff are required to attend between 4 to 6 hours of training per month. Training includes clinical supervision, small group case studies, clinician shared case consultations, and monthly all staff meeting. Staff attend quarterly, mandated trainings required by the County and State during work hours. The purpose of our training program is to keep our clinicians up to date on current treatment practices and regulations. Through our programs we are insuring the professional development of those committed to a career in providing mental health services. Our trainings and consultations are conducted by our professional staff who are licensed LCSW's and MFT's. We also have on staff a Child Psychiatrist who provided case specific support for our clinicians.
Capitol Projects-Architectural Drawings
YFSA continues to strive to do more and learn more. And one of those ways we would like to continue is to build a new building for our training program.
This is a multiple step process with the first step being the architectural drawings for a building that will be 800 to 1000 square feet.
Capitol Project-Play Equipment, Office Equipment, & Computer Equipment
YFSA’s current play equipment is almost 20 years old and needs to be replaced. We also want to update the rubber padding we have in the play area.
We would like to update a few of our computers but mostly it is to stay updated on security software.
We have the same couches now as we did two decades ago. And would like to replace them with comfortable chairs.
Counseling Program
YFSA offers brief and long term counseling treatment for individuals, children, teens, couples, and families coping with issues such as parent/child conflict, depression, anxiety, custody and divorce, marital difficulties, and grief and loss. YFSA staff is trained in current specialized and evidence based therapeutic methods, including parent coaching via Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT) and rapid trauma recovery via Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Our bilingual staff ensure that the Latino population receives equal access to mental health services in Spanish from bilingual and bicultural clinicians. YFSA also supports families through psycho-educational groups focused on parenting, coping with separation/divorce, assimilation struggles and relationship issues.
