Welcome to Kids’ Mental Health North Central WA

The North Central Youth Navigator Program is an access portal and support system for individuals concerned about a school aged youth experiencing behavioral health challenges. We collaborate with community partners to help youth and families gain access to services and ensure youth receive the care and support they need at the right time, in the best place, and with the best possible outcome for every family.

Support can be requested for behavior management strategies, safety planning, family engagement ideas, transition planning, care coordination and outpatient service navigation.

North Central WA FYSPRT

The Family Youth System Partner Round Table (FYSPRT) is a monthly public community forum in the North Central WA Region where youth and families can learn about available behavioral health (mental health & substance use) resources. Youth and families that attend the FYSPRT can also receive training to learn valuable skills which serve them well in their own behavioral health journey. The FYSPRT is also a place for youth and families to come and be a part of the solution by bringing any identified gaps and barriers within the behavioral health system. They can take part in conversations with system partners to work towards finding creative solutions to these complex issues.

All youth and families not otherwise being compensated for attendance at the FYSPRT qualify for a gift card for attending each meeting. Mileage reimbursement is also available for youth and families that travel to any in-person FYSPRT meetings. The monthly FYSPRT meetings are held virtually via Teams on the second Monday of each month from 5:30pm-7pm. The FYSPRT does meet in person on a quarterly basis, but this is also hybrid, meaning there is always a virtual join option.
