Mission: Helping support healthier and safer families & communities.
Helping Services For Youth & Families has been serving northeast Iowa since 1973. We understand the unique needs and challenges of serving rural communities in eight Iowa counties. We do an amazing job of coordinating a wide variety of programs with one purpose: making the youth and families in our communities stronger and safer.
Each of our programs showcases many benefits: training, presentations, public events, as well as direct services to clients. Please visit program information pages or calendar of events to discover more of the great work we do. Contact us at our main office in Decorah, Iowa if we can be of further assistance.
