Tykes & Teens is a nonprofit organization founded in 1996 that provides evidence-based behavioral healthcare, prevention and treatment services for children, adolescents and families across Florida's Treasure Coast. Services are delivered regardless of a family's ability to pay and span the period from infancy through young adulthood. The organisation works in Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties.
Its service portfolio is broad. Clinical offerings include outpatient counselling for children and adolescents, psychiatric care, school-based therapy, infant and early-childhood mental health work with families and caregivers, substance-use treatment and family support. For urgent concerns, Tykes & Teens runs crisis intervention alongside a walk-in assessment centre. Prevention programmes address suicide, substance use and dating violence.
Care is provided in flexible settings rather than a single clinic: outpatient offices, schools, homes and community locations. The organisation describes a mission-driven culture centred on compassion and resilience, together with advocacy for mental-health awareness and the reduction of stigma around treatment. It relies on community partnerships and donor support to fund its work.
