About
They are concerned with all aspects of life that affect youth, their families, and the community, and are dedicated to a collaborative approach to analyzing existing needs and developing programs and relationships to serve those needs. Since 1975, Old Saybrook Youth and Family Services has been providing a wide range of services to address the many problems that all communities face today. Through counseling, educational programs, and support services, individuals can gain a better understanding of themselves and their situations and take the necessary actions to resolve the problems they encounter. They work closely with the schools, police, agencies, and organizations to assess community needs, develop strategies, and implement effective programs. Many services are free to Old Saybrook residents, and counseling fees are assessed on a sliding scale based on one's ability to pay. They also accept most major insurances, and no one is refused services because of limited financial resources. The practice is committed to providing positive youth development programming for people of all abilities, and encourages and supports people with disabilities to fully participate in all programs offered by the Department.
