Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital – Community Youth Services

Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital – Community Youth Services is a community based program based in Hollywood, Florida. Among their many programs, they provide outpatient therapy for adolescents experiencing addiction. Their services are aimed at youth and families, including children with special needs and pregnant teens.

Their New Beginnings program is an outpatient counseling service for adolescents with substance abuse disorder and/or mental health issues. Treatment includes individual and group therapy aimed at reducing substance use, preventing crime, and meeting academic goals. This program takes place in homes, schools, and other locations when necessary.

Although Community Youth Services mainly operate from their Taft Street location, they also offer care in homes, schools, and other community facilities throughout south Broward County and surrounds. They go where the need is greatest, educating and assisting where they can.

Their education programs help parents of young children and teenagers learn how to connect with their child and raise them without any drug or alcohol related problems. They also have a program designed to help families with multiple ethnicities and cultures live together peacefully and without violence.
