Cascadia Youth Mental Health PLLC was founded on the belief the best youth mental health care happens outside the therapy room, in the environments where children live, learn, and play. 

Take stock of your school's strengths and needs in preventing and responding to substance use on campus.

• Schools in WA State may be eligible for 100% of project to be funded through regional youth substance use prevention funding sources, including the WA State Department of Health North Sound and Greater Columbia Region Youth Cannabis and Commercial Tobacco Prevention Programs.
