Youth Empowerment Services (YES) is a 1915(c) Medicaid Waiver program that provides community-based services to help children and youth with serious mental, emotional, and behavioral difficulties.  YES Waiver provides intensive services delivered within a strengths-based team planning process called Wraparound. Wraparound builds on family and community support and utilizes YES services to help build a family's natural support network and connection with their community. YES services are family-centered, coordinated, and effective at preventing out-of-home placement and promoting lifelong independence and self-defined success.  All service providers must pass a criminal history and background check.

YES Waiver participants and their families need service providers for:

  • In-Home Respite
  • Paraprofessional Services
  • Family Supports
  • Employment Assistance and Supported Employment
