Residential Care Services

K.E.L.L.Y. Youth Services (KYS) provides safe and supportive housing, emotional care, and therapeutic programming for youth aged 9 to 21 facing significant behavioral and emotional challenges. Our mission is to empower youth in crisis with the tools and resources needed to become successful, independent, and productive individuals, regardless of their circumstances.

At KYS, we implement Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) interventions within our residential programs. TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment model designed to support children and their caregivers who have experienced trauma. Our approach emphasizes understanding trauma, identifying its impact, and fostering resilience to help youth heal and grow.

With five residential treatment locations in Cincinnati, Ohio, KYS is committed to providing a culturally responsive and trauma-informed environment. We create a family-like atmosphere where youth receive the stability, care, and guidance they need to thrive.
