Douglas County Youth Innovation Center
Our mission at the Youth Innovation Center is to provide a safe, holistic approach to the development and success of youth on their journey to a healthy, productive lifestyle.
Our holistic, and effective approach to impacting youth incorporates a culture of compassion, assertiveness, mindfulness, inclusiveness and play. Implementation of our programs are led by a passionate, experienced staff of professionals who are invested in the overall well-being of every youth.
We believe that a collaboration of resources, therapeutic methods modern and traditional are the best ways to reach these goals. Next Up integrates relational and behavioral therapies, along with holistic interventions to help clients reach their behavioral and emotional health while promoting well-being.
Often youth participants present with emotional, behavioral, social, and mental health challenges that require special care, treatment and worker sensitivity. It is essential that the Douglas County Community Services Board workforce be trauma-informed to address the multiple challenges serving youth participant and families who have been exposed to trauma. The Douglas County Community Services Board and its partners must identify trauma exposure and make every effort to prevent re-traumatization by promoting healing relationships and environments through embracing the “key” trauma-informed principles of respect, safety, trust, collaboration, choice and empowerment. In addition, we should use evidence-based trauma-specific services and treatments for recovery pathways.
