Did you know that LGBTQ+ youth are much less likely to die by su***de if they have access to one safe, accepting place in their life?

As Pride Month comes to a close, we want to remind our community that we are committed to being a safe, trauma-respectful, and accepting place for all youth! Whether through counseling, emergency shelter or access to basic needs, CYS is here to help!
