Help When Help Is Needed

The Youth Resource & Opportunity Collaborative, or YouthROC, provides youth, and the trusted adults in their lives, an easy way to find support services and resources they need when life gets tough. It doesn’t matter if it’s a basic need such as food, or other life issues like mental health concerns, physical safety, or trauma. YouthROC can help.

This single point of contact approach integrates prevention and early intervention activities that can help youth improve their health, increase well-being, stay in school, find employment, stay out of crisis, avoid law enforcement and juvenile justice involvement, and help build a stronger emotional foundation for a successful future.

Whether you’re a youth aged 10-17 or a parent/guardian, doctor, teacher, church member, school custodian, or other trusted adult who cares, applying to YouthROC is simple.

Reasons to contact YouthROC:

Slipping grades
Missing school
Hunger
Self-harming behaviors
Youth asked for help

These are just a few. When in doubt, reach out.

YouthROC can help.

What to Expect

Services are available for youth ages 10-17 in Adams, Canyon, Gem, Owyhee, Payette, and Washington counties. After an application is received, a YouthROC provider will be in contact within 48 hours to conduct a screening. Youth with concerns identified through screening will meet with a licensed behavioral health provider for assessment, which can be done in-person or virtually. Together, they will develop an Individualized Care Plan, and a case manager might be assigned to help support the youth (and families) complete their goals. Case managers are provided through several organizations, including Advocates Against Family Violence, Boys and Girls Club of Canyon County, Nampa Family Justice Center, and WICAP.

Easy-to-access, community-based resources.

YouthROC works with youth and their families to determine their needs and the best path forward. View the video below to learn more about assessment centers in Idaho.
