- How can I get help for my child?
You can call our Counseling and Intake offices at 336-333-6853 (Greensboro) or 336-841-6083 (High Point) to make an appointment or to speak to a counselor. If you know the Youth Focus service that your child needs you can call that program directly (see Contacts).
- Is there a fee for Youth Focus services?
Most Youth Focus services can be accessed regardless of your ability to pay a fee. We will attempt to bill your private health insurance or Medicaid for the service (if applicable), and we also have a sliding fee scale.
The following programs have NO FEE: Big Brothers Big Sisters, Act Together Crisis Care, Transitional Living and My Sister Susan’s House.
The following programs charge a fee but services will be billed to your insurance or Medicaid if you have such coverage and fees can be waived completely if necessary: Counseling and Family Preservation (Intensive In-Home).
The following programs require either private health insurance that will pay for the service or Medicaid or sponsorship by the Guilford Center (IPRS funds) or the school system: Adolescent Substance Abuse Services (ASAP), Community Support (case management), Day Treatment, Therapeutic Foster Care, and the Residential Treatment Center (PRTF).
- How are services funded for people who can’t pay a fee?
Support from the United Way, Guilford County, the City of Greensboro and various state and federal grants, makes indigent care possible.
- How can I help to support Youth Focus?
We have three fund raisers each year – a bowlathon, a Little Moments Big Magic luncheon and a golf tournament. To participate in any of these fund raisers please call 336-378-9100. You can also make an on-line donation by clicking on the donations tab of this web site, or by sending a tax deductible check to Youth Focus at 715 N. Eugene Street, Greensboro, NC 27401. Giving to the United Way also helps to support Youth Focus.
