Casework ServicesServices are provided by a licensed social work professional at the Youth Assistance office located at South Lyon High School. The social worker works with children and families to reduce behavior problems and find effective solutions for the family. Through early intervention, more serious problems can be prevented and family harmony can be restored. Evening appointments are
available. Casework services are voluntary, confidential and free of charge. Caseworkers also provide information about other resources and refer families to other helping agencies. Referrals to Youth Assistance are made by parents, police, schools and other agencies. Reasons for referrals include emotional or behavioral difficulties at home, at school or in the community.
