YAP provides Family Support Services for families who have a child in foster care, are at risk of having a child removed from their home, or experiencing parenting challenges. YAP engages with the child's family using a strength based approach and coaching whilst strengthening the family’s ability to have a healthy dynamic. We will also involve a foster family and/or other team members/natural supports, as appropriate, in plan development and implementation.

Since our first Behavioral Health program in York, Pennsylvania in 1996, YAP has offered families with children experiencing mental health related difficulties a community-based program of care that demonstrates a unique ability to adhere to government regulation while providing family-friendly services.

YAP contracts with county mental health systems, Managed Care Organizations (MCO’s), and private insurers to provide both fee for service and case rate Medicaid services.

In addition to providing quality services to children and youth with various mental health challenges, YAP specializes in working with individuals with autism spectrum disorders, cross-system youth, and youth who have experienced trauma.

YAP provides Intensive In-Home Counseling to work with children and their families who are at risk of an out-of-home placement or are returning to the community after a psychiatric hospitalization, treatment foster care placement, or residential treatment.
