Residential Youth Center
A Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility licensed by the State of Nevada and proudly accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) serving 8-17 year old youth.
About Us
The Never Give Up Youth Healing Center (NGUYHC) serves clients with behavioral, emotional, psychiatric, and psychological disorders or conditions whose needs can no longer be met in acute or less restrictive care. Many of our clients experience moderate to severe emotional challenges. These include youth with bipolar disorders, depression, psychosis, self-harm, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit, and attachment disorders.
Through a treatment team approach to care, NGUYHC offers a home-like setting with activities that require typical day-to-day decision making and problem solving in a safe and secure environment. Daily activities include a variety of therapies, academics, life skills training, service opportunities, and recreational activities to prepare clients for a successful and smooth transition to home, school, and community.
NGUYHC utilizes a sanctuary model of care. We are a family-centered, trauma-informed, outcome-oriented program that provides all modalities of psychotherapy. Our strength-based approach to treatment utilizes a strong cognitive and behavioral approach in our program. Treatment planning is always based on the individual needs of each child.
