During tumultuous times, support is essential. If a young person you know could use a little extra support in handling life’s challenges during this time of uncertainty, please pass the word that Bainbridge Youth Services (BYS) is available to help.

Starting Monday, March 16, BYS will continue to offer youth, ages 13-21, free and confidential mental health counseling using secure video conferencing.

Young people can schedule appointments at AskBYS.org or leave a message at 206-842-9675.  Counseling appointments are available Monday-Friday 9-5pm.

In an effort to decrease the spread of the coronavirus, our physical office at 8533 Madison will be closed until April 24th, following the same schedule as the school district.

Updates on other BYS programs:

BYS Peer Tutoring will continue to be offered via FaceTime or other video-conferencing platforms. If you would like to be a volunteer tutor (in exchange for community service hours) or receive tutoring support during this time, please email tutoring@bainbridgeyouthservices.org

Applications are continuing to be accepted for the Rotary/BYS Summer Work Internship. Information can be found at https://www.careerpathsbi.org/. Applications are accepted by mail at P.O. Box 11173 or by email at internships@bainbridgeyouthservices.org

Lead from Within, our year-long leadership development program, will continue to meet weekly by video conferencing.

Follow us on Instagram or Facebook for messages that support hope and well-being. Send us emails with ways you are finding strength and support during this unprecedented time so we can share some of them.

We are in this together,
