About the Program: 

Bayfront Youth and Family Services Wellness Program services teen clients from the probation and foster care systems with mental illness diagonses in both residential and outpatient facilities. Through year round programming, we teach independent living and coping skills in the least restricitive theraputic settings available. Our evidence based programs target a wide breadth of goals in various categories of wellness, (interpersonal, intrapersonal, physical). We work with clients to attain incremental progress in categories of their interest such as gardening, sports, cooking, meditation, civic engagment and performance. Our volunteers add tremendous value to our programs by leading with their passions and committing to our community.
