Support for youth and families closer to home

Tuesday, July 28, 2026

When youth need extra care, staying connected to family, school and routines can make a meaningful difference.

Genesis Behavioral Health opened a Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit (YCSU) for youth ages 10 to 17, offering a place where young people can receive mental health support close to home.

The program provides short-term behavioral healthcare in a safe, welcoming environment to help youth build coping skills, stay engaged and take positive steps forward with the support of their families and care teams.

The two-week program provides youth with individualized support, including:

  • Individual and group therapy
  • Trauma-informed care
  • Educational and social activities
  • On-site classroom teacher  
  • Planning for continued care after discharge

Care keeps families connected.
