COVID-19 RESOURCES
The SDYS CRISIS COUNSELING PROGRAM provides short-term, non-clinical support to youth and families that have been impacted by COVID-19. The goal is to help youth and families cope with the stress of the pandemic. They work with clients on a needs assessment to identify their highest priorities, connect them with relevant and appropriate resources, and provide a safe environment for them to share their experiences around the pandemic.
