Maryland’s
20 Youth Services Bureaus are voluntary, community-based, prevention
and early intervention programs for children, youths, and families.
As YSBs, they share a mandate to provide specific core services;
however, each Bureau designs and implements programs in response
to its community’s changing and diverse needs. The advantages
of being community-based are that Bureaus are responsive, accessible,
flexible, diverse, and creative. We are 20 unique programs.
Bureaus offer
services at no cost, reduced cost or with insurance reimbursement. Clients
are served regardless of ability to pay. All services are confidential.
In addition, YSB programs are offered in a nondiscriminatory manner,
without regard to race, religion, gender, disability, or sexual
orientation.
Individual YSBs
also provide other services depending on both local needs and funding
availability. These services include:
