Children's Mental Health (YES)

If you feel you cannot keep yourself or your youth safe during an emergency, go to the nearest emergency department or call 911.

 
988 Idaho’s available behavioral health crisis resources range beyond the scope of emergency departments. The network includes youth crisis centers and the 24/7 Idaho Crisis & Suicide Hotline – 988. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988.

Mobile Response Team (MRT)

988 can send out Mobile Response Teams (MRTs). MRTs are staffed by behavioral health professionals who travel to the individual experiencing a crisis and provide assessment, stabilization, and, if needed, triage the individual to a higher level of care.

Children’s Mental Health

Children’s Mental Health (CMH) is involved in helping children and youth who don’t have Medicaid through the CMH Regional Mental Health offices. When a child has a serious emotional disturbance (SED), growing up can be incredibly challenging. It can feel like every step towards adulthood is difficult. Families of these children often feel overwhelmed, and parents may feel alone, helpless, and unsure about what to do. That’s where YES comes in. YES offers services and support to increase the abilities of children with SED and their families to live, work, learn, and be active members of their community.

Youth Empowerment Services (YES)

Children’s Mental Health (CMH) has played a crucial role in creating a program called Youth Empowerment Services (YES) in Idaho. YES is designed to help children who have serious emotional problems. YES is the new system of care in the state of Idaho for children with SED. The program provides services and supports that increase the capacity for children with SED and their families to live, work, learn, and participate fully in their community.
