Youth Villages has been a national leader in the adoption and implementation of research-based treatment philosophies in the field of children's mental and behavioral health. Soon after the organization was founded in 1986, Youth Villages adopted the Re-ED (Re-Education of Emotionally Disturbed Children) treatment philosophy. In 1994, with the development of the Youth Villages Intensive In-Home Services Program, the organization became one of the first in the United States to use Multisystemic Therapy (MST) outisde of small clinical trials.

Our approach has been very successful. Today, nearly 1,400 counselors, teachers and skilled support staff provide Youth Villages' services from offices in 50 locations throughout Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Youth Villages is a member of the Child Welfare League, the Alliance for Children and Families, and its programs are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Council on Accreditation.  We are a member agency of the United Way of the Mid-South.
