Youth Services App for Law Enforcement

Getting youth and families the help they need fast.

So many calls for service to law enforcement can easily be cleared by helping families and youth find the help they need. The Youth Services App (YSApp) from Strategies for Youth equips officers with easy access to local resources to make that happen fast.

The YSApp is customized for your jurisdiction. It equips officers with up-to-date categorized lists of services for youth and families. Officers can quickly review and choose the services that meet a youth’s needs and send an information-rich referral or, when appropriate, coordinate a “warm handoff.”
