A Better Boulder Campus
Since 2005, Youth Dynamics has operated a residential group home campus in Boulder, MT. Beginning with two therapeutic group homes the campus was expanded in 2008 with two additional group homes.
More Case Managers for Montana
Recently, Montana’s Department of Public Health & Human Services (DPHSS) reduced the reimbursement rate for case management services to near-record lows. As a result, the critical service provided by YDI case managers is in jeapordy.

Foster Care
Each year more than 3,000 Montana children enter foster care due to abuse, neglect and other serious difficulties within their families. However, the number of foster families available to provide safe, caring homes for these children has not kept up with the need.
Many youth improve through our mental health care. Best of all, we often hear from adult “YDI Youth” —of healthy families, successful careers, and lives lived to their full potential. It takes many people to help families grow. Staff, mentors, foster parents, respite providers, volunteers, community partners, and donors all make an impact that lasts a lifetime.
