Crisis Shelter Program: A safe, structured and supervised environment for a short-term time-out for youth and their families.

The Y.E.S. House Crisis Shelter offers support, prevention and intervention services, as well as emergency shelter care, for youth ages 10 to 17 and their families in Northeastern Wyoming.

The Crisis Shelter provides quality service for our youth and their families including shelter care, crisis intervention and support on a 24-hour basis with the ultimate goal of keeping families together whenever possible. The average length of stay at the crisis shelter is four to six days. A fair and reasonable cost for this service is determined through the use of a sliding fee scale, which is based on monthly household income. Parents do not relinquish any of their parental rights while the child is placed at the crisis shelter.

Family Involvement

The intent of a time-out period is to provide an opportunity for all family members to regroup, re-evaluate, and hopefully, resolve the issues and/or conflicts that resulted in the need to access a placement with our facility.

The crisis shelter is a successful and confidential program that can often help prevent children and families from becoming involved in the court system.
