AZYP Youth Shelters Providing safe shelter, support, and a path forward for runaway and homeless youth. Through our continued expansion, the ongoing effort of the agency is to serve rural communities in Arizona to fight poverty and build healthy, self-sufficient youth and families. The services we provide to the homeless youth population through shelters in Mohave County, have proved to be crucial towards building solid foundations. Safety & Support Harbor House (Kingman) and Providence Place (Bullhead City) are Basic Center Programs that address the needs of runaway and homeless youth and their families in Mohave County and its surrounding communities. The programs are built on the principles of positive youth development, emphasizing the strength of each individual and family unit served. Harbor House and Providence Place work with youth and their caregivers to create a plan to either reunite youth with their families or another trusted adult. This plan may include personal goals, counseling, job skills, drug and alcohol education and academics. A Place to Regroup These shelters offer a safe place for youth to regroup and chart a new course in their life. They have served as spaces for youth to learn their potential and work towards a positive life with the support of the trusted AZYP team. Harbor House offers temporary shelter for up to 21 days to 50 runaway and homeless male youth, while Providence Place offers the same services for runaway and homeless female youth. The centers currently have 4 beds available for emergency shelter. Building Skills for the Future Harbor House and Providence Place also reach youth through several outreach activities including weekly youth sessions focusing on life skills and character development utilizing Botvin’s Life Skills curriculum.

Mental Health Intercept Map: Prevention In this intercept, Education and Available Resources were key to prevention but gaps were present: There was not a lack of information, but rather a lack of people knowing. There are many resources and information available to the public, but why are they not being effectively used? Most minors spend most of their time in school, but they are not actively learning about mental health. Parents/ educational staff may not know about or may have stigmatizing views for getting help or about mental health in general To this, some solutions may include: Developing a course that can be talked about regularly for minors in school. They could be a simple curriculum about what mental health is and that is it okay to talk about. Train educators regularly in mental health. This would reduce the tension some educators may feel when a student comes to them seeking help. These together can reduce the stigma around seeking help by learning about what mental health is and decreasing stigmatizing vocabulary inside and outside of the classroom.
