Housatonic Youth Service Bureau

Your donation supports the essential infrastructure that makes life-changing youth mental health services possible. Housatonic Youth Service Bureau (HYSB) provides free and accessible counseling, prevention programs, and youth development services for children and teens throughout the Northwest Corner of CT.  Every day, we work with young people facing anxiety, depression, emotional challenges, family stress, and other obstacles that can affect their success at home, in school, and in the community. We also provide prevention and early-intervention programs that help youth build resilience, make healthy choices, and avoid substance use and other risky behaviors.

Operational support ensures that HYSB can continue meeting the growing needs of local youth by funding critical behind-the-scenes functions such as clinical supervision, program coordination, technology, evaluation, communications, and administrative support.

These investments help us maintain high-quality services and reach more young people in a region where access to mental health care is often limited. When you give to HYSB, you’re not just supporting a program—you’re helping create a stronger, healthier future for children, teens, and families across our community. Every dollar helps ensure that no young person has to face life’s challenges alone.
