About YES
Who We Are:
YES Community Counseling Center is a non-profit, community based agency founded in 1977. Our dedicated and experienced staff are passionate social workers, mental health counselors, educators, public health, peer advocates, and medical professionals. Our organization is governed by a Board of Directors.
What We Do:
Our organization provides a wide range of counseling and services to youth and families, addiction treatment services, school-based prevention programming, youth financial literacy, community education, coalition building, and professional training.
Who We Serve:
YES Community Counseling Center provides counseling, treatment, prevention, early intervention, education, and family support services for children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. Our programs address a wide range of needs, including mental health, substance use and addiction, family challenges, domestic violence, school-related concerns, and overall health and wellness. YES is committed to ensuring that individuals and families in need can access support regardless of income or socioeconomic status.
While many of our community- and school-based programs primarily serve residents within southeastern and central Nassau County, YES also operates specialized initiatives with a broader reach. Through partnerships with school districts, colleges, community organizations, healthcare providers, and local coalitions, our services extend throughout Nassau County and, for select programs, across Long Island. These include behavioral health and substance use treatment, school-based prevention and early intervention, services for college students and young adults, family and domestic violence supports, community prevention initiatives, workforce and professional training, and Commerce Plaza’s financial literacy and career-readiness programming for youth.
How We Do It:
YES is funded by various federal, state, county, town, and private grants. As a non-profit organization, we also rely upon the generous donorship of those who believe in our mission.
As a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit and Better Business Bureau Charity Seal holder, we prioritize financial transparency, which is why we’ve made our revenue and tax information easily accessible on our website. Our financial integrity is of utmost importance.
