FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Since its founding in 2003, The Youth Success Network (TYSN) has been a New Jersey Medicaid Licensed Provider of Intensive-In-Community Behavioral Healthcare. TYSN only provides Youth-Focused, Age- Appropriate behavioral healthcare for the youth and adolescents in the State of New Jersey.

    All too often, it is not a question of DOES my child need some kind of help, but rather WHERE can we get help. TYSN provides the mental and behavioral healthcare that is matched and suited to the needs of children, youth and adolescents, all available In-Person or via telehealth.

  • A kid's life and experiences are different from their parents. Kids today have different issues and different problems than we as parents and adults had at their age. Our parents were worried watching too much television was going to "rot your brain", and that "we didn't read enough". Today, who watches television? Now it's social media. But as any kid can tell you, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO READ AND WRITE to get onto any social media app. But a kid's mental health involves much much more than just using their thumbs.

    TYSN therapists and clinicians are trained in treating youth under 18 years old, and as young as 7 years old. After a short, thorough evaluation, our therapists will create a treatment plan that is matched to and appropriate for your child's age, and at a level that they will be able to understand and comprehend. Progress will be monitored, and explained to the parent at regular intervals. Learn more about TYSN and how we can help your child and you find a better way to wellbeing.

  • Youth-Focused Therapy is the approach of how therapies are designed specifically for children, youth, and adolescents, and deal exclusively with youth-oriented issues, which are very different than the treatment of an adult.

    The Youth Success Network (TYSN)concentrates only on youth therapy and behavioral healthcare. Our therapists and clinicians treat minors under 18 yrs. of age and focus on the problems that children-youth-adolescents face today. TYSN therapists help youth deal with challenges that occur in a child’s daily life, whether at school, at home, or in community and social events. Problems such as bullying, school-related anxiety, depression, body- image, awkward social skills, gender, and sexual orientation, all impact and affect youth differently than an adult.

  • Age- Appropriate treatment is the practice that when approaching a youth's therapy, is done so at a level that is relevant and applicable to the youth’s ability to understand the treatment and matches their current level of maturity.

    Our therapists understand those changes, and the need to change their approach to one where the youth understand not only the words of therapy, but the way therapy can be of help.

  • Age- Appropriate treatment is how our therapists approach treating each and every child. As a child ages, it doesn't necessarily mean they've matured. A problem that youth faces at 5-year-old changes when they become 7 years old. A middle-school student's problems are different from a high schooler. And there is a big difference between a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old. At each stage, and at each age, the problems and issues that manifest in a child’s behavior change and are often unique to that age.

    Our therapists break down the therapeutic process for each child’s treatment plan to its basic finite points that not only are kids able to understand but one that goes down to their level of understanding. In short, we approach kids at the level they can understand and can comprehend.

  • Every parent understands that a kid's life is different from the life of an adult. Even if they live in the same house, and under the same conditions. So why should we think that therapy designed for an adult should apply to a youth with a similar outcome? Youth- Focused, Age- Appropriate therapies address the needs of a child AS a child, and approach the treatment of your child at a level they will understand and be able to deal with.
