YOU, Inc. is a leading behavioral health and education agency serving at-risk children, adolescents and families across Worcester County since 1972. For nearly 50 years, we have committed to our founding mission – to provide youth and families with opportunities to fulfill their potential, and build a brighter future.

In outpatient, residential, and home and community-based settings we deliver exceptional clinical services that address the broad spectrum of needs that youth and their caregivers may face. Our programs are a reflection of our commitment to wrap-around services, behavioral health care, and thoughtful care coordination. Our outcomes consistently exceed national averages.

Our mission to support healthy outcomes and bright futures for youth and families includes a commitment to comprehensive education and employment services. We believe that every student can succeed, and our programs support promising young people to complete high school and advance to higher education or vocational training that leads to self-sustaining employment.

We are here to help youth and families to heal, and flourish.
