We know Asking for Help can be hard
Our team recognizes the intersection of substance use with unhealthy family dynamics, mental health challenges, homelessness, prior abuse, trafficking, and other negative life experiences. We believe substance use, along with behavioral and mental health issues, are not choices, but rather responses to a larger underlying concern: trauma
Trauma affects individuals from all walks of life and can have lasting generational impact, if not processed and healed. Youth180 is here to help youth and their families achieve that healing.

“For my son, nieces, and nephew I have made a conscious decision and a promise to myself to make better decisions about my life going forward and to be a role model thanks to the skills I learned at Youth180. I hope to take my new knowledge and impact lives the same way this program did for me.”
