What Morgan County says about Youth First

“Our Franciscan Ministry is privileged to partner with Youth First, Inc. for our 2024-2025 Social Impact Partnership Program (SIPP).  Through our intentional partnership, we’re honored to compassionately contribute to more positive mental wellness outcomes for Morgan County youth and families.”

“My Youth First Mental Health Professional, Miss Walls, is a very understanding person. She will always understand what you want to talk about. She will always be there when you need her most. One major thing she helped me through is when my parents were fighting and I was having home issues…but she helps me with so much more than that. She has helped me stay in school, because she will always calm me down and help me refrain from getting in trouble. Miss Walls puts a lot of hard work and effort into her job. It’s not just me that she impacts – she impacts many people’s lives.”

“Youth First Mental Health Professionals are the lighthouses for many students and families at Bell Intermediate Academy and Paul Hadley Middle School. They are helping the most vulnerable students who are at-risk of poor health outcomes build resiliency and coping skills in order to overcome adversity throughout life.”

“Youth First is a great fit for our Morgan County community.  The counseling services and programs for students and their families that they provide in our schools are essential for the continued and future success of our students and their families.  Hobson Auto Group is pleased to support Youth First.”
