How We Can Help

The BYH approach brings innovative, professional, culturally relevant perspectives to understanding and addressing the root causes of challenges faced by children, youth and families. Youth, families, schools and other mainstream organizations have a culturally appropriate resource they turn to for related support.

Our professional assessment process ensures that problems are first and foremost understood before they are addressed. Next steps are then driven by assessment outcome and your interest and goals.
