 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.
