Consultation, Evaluation and Counseling

The Youth Development Clinic (YDC) is a 52 year old non-profit professional services organization dedicated to providing services to children and families in Essex County and surrounding communities.

Strengthening Children and Families

We work in close partnership with educational/ social services organizations to meet the behavioral and mental health needs of families.

Helping to Create Competent Learners

Our goal is to use empirically- based and culturally-relevant methods to cultivate the social, emotional, and educational well being of children and their families, in the communities in which they live.
