BYS LISTENS

Bainbridge Youth Services offers FREE and CONFIDENTIAL professional mental health counseling and facilitates a thriving peer tutoring program. When youth step into BYS, we listen and we learn from them. We assure them that they are not alone in their struggles. We know they can navigate any obstacle – with a little help.

We believe hope equals resilience.

In the last several years, we’ve experienced a five-fold uptick in demand as levels of youth stress, anxiety and depression have increased. BYS strives to help youths meet the challenges they face by equipping them with life skills to learn from the past, live in the present, and hope for the future.

Thanks to our generous community, all BYS offerings are free!

Our Work

BYS creates connection through a wide variety of programs and services. We engage youths in ways that help foster resilience, empathy and independence. Through BYS, teens get support, give support, learn and lead – both on campus and within our greater community.

For Youth

You own your story. That’s why, when you work with BYS, it’s on your terms. We’ll help you be a strong self-advocate, stand up for others, or maybe even try something new and scary, together. We’re here to empower you to be your true self – today.
