Building A Stronger Community
The mission of Youth & Family Services (YFS) is to Value, Support, and Care for Individuals and Families to Build a Stronger Community.
Our Services
Emergency Youth Shelter
YFS operates a residential center for children from 0 to 17 years old. We provide temporary shelter to homeless youth that are in crisis, are runaways, push outs, or are in DHS or OJA custody. Parents from the local area may utilize the residential center for 24 to 72 hours in a crisis situation.
Thelma’s House
YFS offers a Transitional Living Program for homeless youth between 18 and 22 years of age. TLP participants are looking for a hand up, not a hand out. These young adults are provided the basic needs of housing, food, and safety. The participants focus on education and employment while learning life skills.
Transitional Living Program
For a variety of reasons, there are teens who find themselves staying with friends and relatives. This makes keeping up with education and work difficult. If you are a young adult between 16 and 18 years old, Thelma’s House may be an option for you.
School Based Counseling
YFS is contracted with Enid Public Schools to provide behavioral and mental health services to students. Qualified counselors and case managers serve EPS students directly during the student’s school day.
Specialty Treatment Courts
Designed to offer supervised treatment, reduce recidivism, and avoid overcrowded and underfunded prison systems, Garfield County offers Specialty Treatment Court programs overseen by the court, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, and county court staff.
Young Adult Drug & Alcohol Services
YFS has one of the largest outpatient counseling services in the area. We offer programs to help children, teens, adults, and families. Our treatment team works with you to develop treatments to help with everything from family adjustment issues to dealing with some of life’s hardest problems, including substance abuse.
Outpatient Counseling
Addiction can start at any age, but it usually starts when a person is young. YFS provides help for drug and alcohol problems at any age. Our specially trained counselors and case managers support personal work with individuals, as well as families.
