TOGETHER! for Youth couldn’t do our work without partnerships in our community. Your efforts help us better serve our local youth.

Together! For Youth engages and mobilizes families, schools and the community to advance the health safety and success of our youth.

Together! For Youth believes prevention is the most efficient way to promote socially, emotionally and physically healthy communities. Our prevention programs focus on substance, bullying/suicide, and gun/violence. We work with community coalitions to identify needs and opportunities for services, then implement services followed by monitoring and evaluation to ensure continual growth.

Our Focus Areas

Mental Health/Suicide Prevention

Mental health challenges affect many—especially youth. We lead regional suicide prevention efforts in schools, providing peer mentoring, skill-building, and resources for students and school staff.

Substance
Use/Misuse

Our prevention work focuses on raising awareness, building community knowledge and skills, and supporting effective, culturally relevant programs that promote a healthy and thriving environment.

Community & Firearm Violence

Together for Youth uses the strategic prevention framework to reduce community and gun violence in Chelan and Douglas Counties through local engagement, planning, goal setting, and evaluation.

“We, the ones who are challenged, need to be heard. To be seen not as a disability, but as a person who has, and will continue to bloom. To be seen not only as a handicap, but as a well intact human being."

— Robert M. Hensel —
