We are accountable, ethical, fiscally responsible, transparent, and dedicated to aligning our decisions with our organizational values.

Transformative Relationships

We believe that healing and growth happen in the context of empathic, client-centered, intentional relationships. We bear witness to our clients’ journeys with curiosity and kindness to promote transformational change.

Innovation

We look beyond what is and imagine what could be. We stay on the leading edge of care by encouraging our clients and staff to explore their passions and strengths with a creative and playful spirit.

We believe that staff wellness and work sustainability are key to providing excellent mental health care. We understand the importance of organizational supports for secondary traumatic stress and are committed to a family-first work philosophy for staff.

Equity Statement

Northeast Youth & Family Services seeks to be a place of safety where everyone can be their authentic selves and clients are seen, understood, and empowered to do the important and vulnerable work of growth and healing. 

We are committed to deconstructing practices that perpetuate systemic inequalities while expanding perspectives and exploring new ways to serve our clients’ highest good.
