OUR MISSION AT THE YSSP

We establish and promote ethical standards for youth transport services, interventionists, and care coordination professionals. We evaluate providers through a holistic lens that considers training, clinical approach, peer reputation, and demonstrated commitment to family-centered care.

This is not a referral service. This is a public resource dedicated to raising the standard of supportive care to match the quality and integrity expected of treatment itself.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

——Independence and Neutrality:—— We are not funded by provider placement fees or advertising revenue. Our evaluations are based on merit, not marketing. We have no financial incentive to favor one provider over another.

——Accessible Membership—— The Youth Support Standards Project is built to serve the families and adolescents that are in need of quality. We keep membeship fees to a minimum and focus on qualitative measures of excellence. We keep our mission simple, to identify and apply our seal on companies that deliver ethical care that families can count on to take care of their children as if they are their own.

——Holistic Evaluation—— We look beyond the basics, while background checks, insurance policy, and varied accreditations are validated. We also evaluate communication practices, safety protocols, clinical philosophy, family feedback, and alignment with best practices in adolescent behavioral health. We find out the why behind each companies purpose, and give them a place to broadcast their mission and what motivates their participation in this particular role.

——Transparency—— Our inclusion criteria are published. Our evaluation process is clear. Families and professionals can make informed decisions with complete visibility into why providers are listed.
