Regional Crisis Residential Center
In-home Family Counseling

The Regional Crisis Residential Center provides temporary shelter and crisis counseling for youth ages 13 through 17 who are in conflict with their family, have run away from home, are at risk of running away, or are homeless.  Youth who stay at the Crisis Residential Center receive individual, group and family counseling tailored to their personal needs with the goal of addressing the issues related to running away and/or homelessness, strengthening family relationships, providing linkages to appropriate community services, encouraging stable living conditions and assisting youth in planning a healthy future course of action.  While family reunification is a goal of services, the need for alternate resources may be determined.

Referrals may be made by DCFS, community agencies, schools, law-enforcement, parents or youth may self-refer into the program. The Crisis Residential Center operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and is available via 24 hour crisis hotline: (509) 624-2868
All services are free of charge
