Specialized Mental Health Programs for Youth & Families
Quality Youth Services provides comprehensive mental health and behavioral programs for youth, individuals, and families, including specialized support for foster care, juvenile justice, court referrals, independent living, and other community-based needs.
Mental Health Programs in Ogden, Logan & Pleasant Grove
Mental health and behavioral needs do not always fit into a single therapy appointment or traditional counseling model.
​
Some individuals and families need more specialized services. Youth may be involved with foster care, juvenile justice or the court system. Young people approaching adulthood may need support developing independent living skills. Others may benefit from a structured mental health program such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
​
Quality Youth Services provides mental health and behavioral programs serving individuals and families in Ogden, Logan and Pleasant Grove, including specialized services for youth, families, foster care, juvenile justice, court referrals and state-contracted programs.
​
Our Harrisville office is located just minutes from Ogden, with additional QYS locations in Logan and Pleasant Grove.
​
Since 2007, Quality Youth Services has worked with individuals, families and community partners to provide mental health services and specialized programs based on individual needs and referral requirements.
