YOS provides critical services to communities, youth, and their families to inspire positive development through a variety of child welfare, counseling, juvenile justice, and prevention services. I conducted prescreen assessments to clients needing services for the Problematic Sexual Behavior Program, Multi-Systemic Family Therapy Program, Diversion Program, Prevention Program, Counseling, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program. Appropriate referrals were made through phone inquires. I conducted monthly surveys to clients to ensure efficiency by the counselors and programs.
