    Our Mission: Youth Focus provides a continuum of prevention, intervention and treatment services for children and youth and their families who are at risk, in crisis or who have emotional or behavioral problems.

    Youth Focus was founded in 1991 as a result of a merger between Youth Services Bureau and Youth Care.  Youth Services Bureau was founded in 1971 to provide counseling services to Guilford County at risk and troubled youth.  Youth Care was founded in 1974 to provide residential services to Guilford County court involved youth.
