ABOUT US
Founders Tami Paxton and Rebecca Otsuka began Quality Youth Services in 2007 to help youth in our community transition to adulthood successfully and competently. Since then, Quality Youth Services has engaged the entire village in mental wellness. We understand the importance of wellness across the lifespan. Mental health care is an important part of personal growth and system stability.
​
We provide evidence-based mental health care for all ages, along with privatized foster placements for State of Utah DHHS contracts and juvenile court contracts.
​
We specialize in improving quality of life: learning to set boundaries without guilt, enjoying things again instead of just getting through them, feeling like yourself again, feeling less reactive in your relationships, having fewer anxiety symptoms, and making decisions without spending two days second-guessing yourself.
​
QYS also endorses Day One. Day One is a nonprofit dedicated to making mental health care available to all, regardless of ability to pay, and to supporting youth transitioning out of care with home necessities such as cooking tools, cleaning tools, and more.
​
Our team includes clinical and behavioral staff at three locations: Harrisville (our flagship location), Logan (QYS North), and Pleasant Grove (QYS South). We have many highly qualified therapists located at each office along with behavioral staff, foster parents, and transition team members for the youth in our transition to adult living program.
Day One, a non-profit founded in 2015, is Quality Youth Services' sister organization. Through Day One, we support mental health services for high-risk youth and families. Operated out of our Harrisville Office, Day One provides services and donations to individuals, children, and families in need, without regard to race, religion, or background. Day One strives to create a better world for all.
