For 55 years, Bainbridge Youth Services has worked to promote the social and emotional well being of youth in our community.
Our work is primarily focused on providing free and confidential one to one counseling for youth ages 12-21. We have 8part time counselors who see youth at Sakai, Woodward, Eagle Harbor High School and Bainbridge High School. In 2016, we provided 3,000 hours of counseling to youth who are seeking help with anxiety, depression, peer issues, family issues, academic stress, gender identity issues and suicide ideation.
Support Groups
To expand our reach and reduce barriers to access, we have also developed a website where youth and parents can confidentially post questions to either a trained counselor or a physician. AskBYS.org is also a rich resource center where information can be sought and appointments with our counselors can be made. Responses to posted questions can be expected within two business days.
