National Youth Advocate Program in Columbus helps youth and families facing mental health challenges, substance use, and behavioral issues. They offer outpatient care, including counseling, crisis support, and case management. A key feature is their PASS-PSB program, which supports youth with problematic sexual behaviors while helping them stay safely in their homes and communities. The center uses a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach. Therapies include individual and group counseling, family support, and crisis intervention. These services help clients build healthy habits, manage emotions, and improve relationships. Families are involved in the healing process, which leads to better outcomes for both the youth and their loved ones. Programs like Children’s Mental Health Wraparound provide care in homes, schools, and communities. Families get a support team, 24-hour crisis help, and a say in treatment planning. PASS-PSB offers personalized prevention plans and teaches youth how to build safe, positive futures while staying connected to their families and communities.
