Prevention & Intervention
NYAP is committed to the provision of programs and services that keep children, youth, and families together.
NYAP works with individuals and families as they identify the goals that are most important and beneficial to them. Through family counseling and other services, we work with families to improve the quality of their relationships, enhance familial well-being, and support their overall ability to live successfully in their communities.
National Youth Advocate Program supports children, youth, and families in overcoming challenges and difficulties. Our approach recognizes the central role of families and the impact they have on the healthy development and stability of their children.
Through family counseling services, therapy, educational programs, and community connections, NYAP empowers individuals and families to overcome their challenges and lead fulfilling lives.
