Community Youth Services (CYS) Administration: 6300 Chimney Rock 713-295-2500 Ginger Harper, Youth Services Division Administrator Kristen Ballard, Program Manager John Magliolo, Program Manager Community Youth Services , a Program of Harris County Protective Services for children and Adults (HCPS), is a school-based crisis intervention, counseling, and case management service that provides practical assistance to families of children and youth who are experiencing problems.

7 In partnership with the local schools/other governmental entities, the Services of CYS are available to students in 13 Harris County school districts, as well as the Pasadena Police Department, and the Educational Services Division of the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department. All Services of CYS are voluntary and provided at no cost to the family. In counseling youth and their families, CYS also searches among the many agencies throughout Harris County to locate and help clients obtain needed social Services to resolve family problems. Truancy, runaway, pregnancy, drug, school, economic and family problems are appropriate referrals. When providing Services , CYS will visit the family in their home or at the CYS offices on the school campus in the client s community.

8 CYS can also serve as a liaison with other youth serving agencies of the County such as Juvenile Probation, children s Protective Services and Mental Health/Mental Retardation when youth and family have multi-agency involvement. To get help, simply telephone the Youth Service Specialist (YSS) for your school district or their supervisor during school hours. The mission of CYS is to improve the lives of youth and their families through advocacy, education and personal empowerment. The 2016-17 revised edition of the CYS Resource Directory is dedicated to Phyllis McFarland former Director of CYS who passed away this past year. The philosophy that she taught still remains a practice in our work with families today.

9 Families are like mobiles. When one member is having trouble, all members are affected. To resolve problems, the family must be treated as a unit, and helped to utilize their own, as well as the community s resources. We cherish the wisdom that helped build the foundation of the CYS Program . 5 CYS Staff and Supervisors by Contracting School Areas Area Supervisor Delia Alvarado 713-295-2538 Aldine I Aldine II Dora Wilson Twyla Lee 281-446-1576 281-876-5269 Aldine III Valentin Ramirez 281-985-7400 Aldine IV Suzanne Anderson 281-878-0960 Aldine V Marcela Hilliard 281-878-0300 Alief I Lequita Hamm 281-498-8110x5035 Alief II Angel DeLaRosa 281-988-3438 Alief III Vacant 281-498-8110x2181 Area Supervisor Vita Richardson 713-295-2539 Baytown I Earlicia Holman 281-420-4920 Baytown II Adriana Velazquez 281-420-4670 Baytown IV Baytown V Crichelle Broussard Crystal Kennon
