At Next Step Youth Transport Service we take great pride in our team’s caring and compassionate approach assisting your family with the necessary information to get your child to a selected therapy destination safely.
There are many great therapeutic program options available in the United States, and we have personally vetted every destination we have worked with through the years. We only work with the best programs and we are confident to refer parents when they call in need of help selecting a program.
NSYTS does not make referrals to facilities, treatment centers or other therapeutic environments. NSYTS does suggest that parents and guardians needing assistance with placement, when possible, reach out to a referring professional or educational consultant who specializes in placement for the type of issues your adolescent or adult is facing. Although the NSYTS Team may provide additional services to the Mental Health Community, NSYTS assumes no responsibility for advice given to Clients by the NSYTS Team, and further does not take responsibility for the selection of the destination school, program or treatment facility and their respective standards of practice.
These are a few of the therapeutic centers we have worked closely with in the past with positive results.
