Services We Offer

Community-Based Outreach Casework

Our outreach caseworkers engage with youth and their families within their communities, offering personalized support and resources. This service is designed to address issues before they escalate, helping to prevent delinquency and other challenges.

Parent Groups

We believe that involving families in the treatment process is crucial to the success of our programs. Our parent groups offer support, education, and resources to help families navigate the challenges of raising adolescents.

Day Services

Our day services program offers youth a range of activities and support during the day, focusing on education, life skills, and recreational activities. This service is designed to provide structure and support for youth while allowing them to remain in their homes.

Residential Care

For youth who need more intensive support, our residential care program offers a structured environment where they can receive the care, guidance, and supervision they need. This program focuses on helping youth develop the skills necessary for successful reintegration into their communities.

Interstate Compact Supervision

We provide supervision for youth who are placed out-of-state through the Interstate Compact on Juveniles (ICJ), ensuring that they continue to receive the necessary care and support regardless of their location.

Emergency Shelter

Our emergency shelter provides a safe and supportive environment for youth in crisis. We offer immediate care and supervision, ensuring that each child has a stable place to stay while more permanent solutions are explored.

Sexual Rehabilitation Treatment Program

Our specialized sexual rehabilitation treatment program provides intensive therapy and support for youth with sexually harmful behaviors. This program is designed to help them develop healthy attitudes and behaviors, reducing the risk of reoffending.

Substance Abuse Prevention

We offer substance abuse prevention services aimed at educating youth about the dangers of drugs and alcohol and providing them with the tools they need to make healthy choices.

Reintegration and Aftercare for Youth in DYS Custody

For youth who have been in the custody of the Division of Youth Services (DYS), our reintegration and aftercare services provide ongoing support as they transition back into their communities. We focus on helping them maintain the progress they have made and avoid recidivism.

A Letter from the Executive Director

Welcome to Consolidated Youth Services, Inc.’s official website where you will find our mission! We are a 501c3 service organization providing intervention services in our community to youth and families. Our funding comes from contracts with the Arkansas Department of Human Services.

My favorite quote is from Winston Churchill: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

I began my career in youth services in November 1988 here at CYS. I have worked in the positions of direct care worker, outreach case worker, facility supervisor, personnel officer, director of operations, and now as the executive director. I am also serving as the 2024-2025 president of the Arkansas Youth Services Provider Association.

In my ongoing career, I have learned we have persistent stressors in our communities and in homes which creates environments for our youth leaving them homeless, leading some to delinquency and running away.

By making connections with youth and families our staff work to assist them in building a life to become law abiding and productive members of their community.

Sincerely

Lori Clements

Exective Director
