The Youth Success Network is a State and Medicaid approved provider of children's behavioral health services. We work across this great state providing therapuetic services to children and families in need as we create therapuetic resources that can assist these families in reaching their goals. TYSN was incorporated in 2003, providing only mentoring services in Hudson and Monmouth counties.
From day one, this organization based itself on the achievement of 3 goals:
1. Keep children safe at home, school and in the community
2. Keep family members together in harmony with one another.
3. Promote mental health awareness as we create community resources to assist those in need.
TYSN started with four college students, Marlon W. Gray, our current Executive Director, Loren B. Holmes, our current Community Resource Development Director, Michel Desdunes and Craig Stewart who have since gone on to pursue other similar ventures in Florida and New York respectively. In 2009, TYSN has increased it's size to 102 employees serving over 400 services assignments at any given time. Our family includes a management team lead by the Executive Director, the Community Resource Development Director, and our Clinical Director, Shante James, LCSW and her team of clinical consultants.
Despite our unforeseen growth, we here at TYSN continue to adopt more of a grassroots family-feel approach to how we operate, rather than the cold corporate approach. We don't place numbers like revenues and expenses above getting results from programs that actually work. That's the TYSN difference.
An informal, non-therapeutic, face-to-face intervention for children who may just to establish positive community links for recreational needs or support emotional support. Mentors are knowledgeable in positive and therapeutic resources within their communities and take children out within the community to educate them on resource availability, how they are relevant to that child, and how to access them.
Behavioral Assistance (BA) services are specific, outcome-oriented interventions that are components of an approved, written, detailed plan of care prepared by a licensed clinical behavioral healthcare practitioner. Behavioral Assistance is a dynamic process of intervention and ongoing evaluation resulting in effective modification of a child/youth’s identified behavior(s). BA services promote better physical and mental health, enhance interpersonal skills and socialization skills, and teach children and their families effective behavioral management and coping skills.
Intensive In-Community Therapy (IIC) is a clinical solution for children and families who can benefit from the guidance and counseling from a licensed clinician. IIC services offer youth and their families counseling, support, and psycho-educational services to elementary, middle, and high school students who are experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties due to any or many factors.
Therapeutic groups are paraprofessional, goal-oriented group sessions that cater to maybe our most essential needs; the need to feel accepted.Children are carefully matched to groups with children from within their own community, age range, and level of clinical need. Our groups have shown that children tend to make more progress when in this type of controlled informal therapeutic setting. All therapeutic groups are facilitated by trained and experienced paraprofessional under the supervision of a licensed practitioner.
Not sure if you child or family is in need of these types of services? The best way to know for sure is have an assessment conducted by a licensed mental health professional. The process is simple and discreet. The clinician comes to your home or a comfortable setting and conducts an hour long face-to-face assessment, then provides a report marking their clinical opinions. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to call us at (888)TYSN.4.NJ for a free consultation with a counselor. You can also e-mail us.
