MYFS MPD Pilot Social Work Outreach program

The Madison Police Department (MPD) and Madison Youth & Family Services (MYFS) partnered to run a short-term “Social Work Outreach Program” as a Pilot program to integrate social work services with the Madison Police Department.   We hope to develop  a similar collaborative service with the MPD in the future.

With the rising energy costs, and the weather getting colder Eversource is here to help customers with tips and programs to help with lowering those electric bills as much as possible. 

As the Youth Services Bureau for the Town of Madison, and a member of the Connecticut Youth Services Association, MYFS began humbly in 1983 with a single employee.  MYFS has since developed its programming to address the community needs for youth counseling, social/emotional education and substance prevention efforts, as well as establishing programs that train and empower youth to become actively involved in the issues that impact them directly.  These programs have grown in number and evolved over time.  Our Peer Advocate and Peer Helper programs have become trusted resources for youth in need of help and support.  Today MYFS provides a full array of programs and services that support the health and welfare of our youth and families of Madison.   We subdivide our three main functions to include Clinical Services, Positive Youth Development and Community Support.
