The Center for Advancement of Youth (CAY) is a comprehensive behavioral health diagnostic and treatment center devoted to promoting the healthy development of all Mississippi children and youth. When a child struggles with emotional, behavioral or developmental issues, parents often have difficulty finding the right help for their child. The CAY Center was developed to help ease that burden by creating a center that offers comprehensive and coordinated care. Developmental, behavioral, and emotional issues are common reasons children are referred to CAY. Many children are also referred to CAY for psychological testing and evaluation. The CAY Center’s integrated approach to diagnosis and treatment allows children access to an array of services and medical professionals.
