CYS
Who Are We?

Children & Youth Services (CYS) is a Behavioral Health division of the Orange County Health Care Agency. Our purpose is to identify, evaluate, and treat mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents.

CYS regional clinics are located within five geographic areas throughout Orange County. Within this regional system, outpatient services are provided at numerous County and contract provider locations, which include both clinic and school-based sites. They are staffed by professionals in the fields of Psychiatry, Psychology, Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Nursing.

Whom Do We Serve?

Regional CYS clinics serve children and adolescents who are referred by their families, schools, health care providers, etc; or who are wards or dependents of the Juvenile Court. Problems that we can help with include: disruptive behavior disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, sleep and eating disorders, adjustment or personality disorders, other severe emotional disorders, and family problems.
