St. Augustine Youth Services shapes the future of Florida’s youth by providing trauma informed coaching, counseling and care in family style therapeutic group homes and outpatient community services. We help youth work through their emotional barriers and provide them with the resources and support they need to cope, trust others, and lead successful independent lives. SAYS has served thousands of abused children in its residential therapeutic group homes since 1989. In recent years, SAYS has expanded to include four community programs (Mobile Crisis Response Team, Targeted Case Management, Transitional Life Coaches, and Community Action Team). SAYS has always maintained a high level of quality care and services for children. Since 2002, SAYS has been awarded the National Accreditation for Child and Adolescent Residential Treatment Programs, the highest recognition of the accrediting body. Our highly qualified and dedicated staff members strive to meet the ever-changing needs of our children in the best possible environment. Teaching them not only how to survive, but to thrive.
