Available to: Youth, from ages 9-18 years old. One or both parents/guardians MUST accompany the youth to the appointment.
Services provided: The Emergency Crisis Shelter operates 24/7. The shelter provides short-term housing for youth who are nonviolent and do not meet criteria for secure detention. Youth are typically referred and admitted into the Shelter by law enforcement, outside agencies, or protective services. In some cases, however, self-referrals are taken, and parent/guardians may also make referrals. The Shelter collaborates with the Navajo Nation to provide services for youth who are in the custody of their system.
Levels of care range from emergency shelter care, intensive outpatient care, residential treatment, probation supervision, functional family therapy, judicial services, and drug court programs, to secure detention.
The Juvenile Services Center is a “one-stop” complex providing a more effective and efficient method to identify and intervene with juveniles at-risk and prevention for juveniles and families.
