UCAN strengthens communities by supporting youth and families, offering a continuum of services for over 150 years.
UCAN’s expertise spans youth in care, youth development, mental health, therapeutic schools, workforce development, and violence prevention and intervention.
UCAN’s primary clients are youth in care of the state child welfare system and youth who have been removed from their homes for reasons of abuse or neglect. We also work with the families of these children to enhance the full spectrum of support. UCAN provides a continuum of care which enables clients to move from one program to another as their needs change, sparing our youth the transitions and gaps caused by moves from one agency to another. All of our programs are united by a common clinical philosophy, which ensures that our approach to healing is cohesive and consistent.
