"When I entered the program, I was at a low-point and wasn't sure how exactly I was going to get out of it."

Simon's case manager at San Diego Youth Services made sure he had all the support he needed to find the stability he needed to begin planning for his future. He says, "They made me feel like there was always someone who was looking out for me, who had my back, because they do. Over the course of about a year, they have assisted me in getting my own place, job, stabilizing my financial and mental health, improving my diet, pursuing and finding hobbies and things I love doing and helping me become independent."

A conversation can change a life! Did you know that su***de is the second leading cause of death among children ages 10-14, and the third leading cause of death among teens and young adults ages 15-24?

Recognizing the signs, starting a conversation and connecting a young person to support can make a difference.

Healing, growth, and connection, one step at a time. As part of our Sunny Days program, trauma-informed equine-assisted services provide children, teens, families, and groups with a unique path to healing. 💙

Through connection with horses, participants build healthy boundaries, strengthen social-emotional skills, and work toward improved mental health and well-being.
Sometimes, healing begins with a connection, and sometimes, that connection has four legs.

Our Elevate Program had a great time bringing the community together for our Summer Outreach Event! From delicious food and ice cream to fun activities, raffles, prizes, and valuable community resources, it was an afternoon filled with connection and summer memories. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped making it such a special day!

San Diego Youth Services’ Elevate program (Engagement, Expressive Arts & Equity to End Incarceration) is part of the End Girls’ Incarceration initiative. Elevate’s goal is to reduce the barriers that lead to incarceration, facilitating expressive arts activities, goal-setting sessions, providing case-by-case financial assistance, and connecting our youth to supportive resources for career development, housing and mental health needs.
