24-HOUR TEEN CRISIS HOTLINE
CYFC provides 24-hour crisis intervention through a toll free hotline:
(800) 660-0934. This service allows access to CYFC staff for assistance, problem solving and support, ensuring that at-risk youth are receiving their basic needs.

CRISIS INTERVENTION
"Intervention Specialists" are available around the clock to problem solve, help youth and families realize their options, and mediate conflict situations.

BASIC CENTER SERVICES
Runaway, homeless, and throwaway youth are provided with safe, caring host homes certified through CYFC, while family mediation and resolution services occur.

Family Mediation and Resolution helps struggling families establish behavioral contracts, appropriate home structure and boundaries.  CYFC also acts as an advocate to help youth and their families access needed services.

Ongoing individual case management is considered the most significant service provided in coordinating resources for the redirection and positive guidance of a troubled youth. CYFC youth development professionals provide positive role modeling, concerned mentoring, and access to a network of local and statewide information and services.

STREET OUTREACH SERVICES
In 2002, CYFC began providing Street Outreach Services in Deschutes County.  Street Outreach workers move through community locations, interacting with young people who are "hanging out" in public places.  They provide mentoring, food, clothing and hygiene resources, as well as situational assessment and connection to community services.  We offer available times and facilities for showering, laundry and job search assistance.

TRANSITIONAL LIVING SERVICES
In 2003, CYFC implemented a Transitional Living Program, Living Options for Teens (The LOFT), a maximum 18-month residency in a structured life-skills modeling environment for 10-12 youth between the ages of 16 - 21.  Each youth receives intensive case management services and a goal oriented transitional living plan, designed to develop strong life and interpersonal skills.  The two primary goals of the transitional living plan are Educational Completion and Vocational Training and Placement.  The overall goal for each client is successful transition into independent, self-sufficient living.
