Child and Youth Development Resources

The following agencies, clearinghouses, and organizations are useful resources for psychologists, counselors, teachers, social workers, and other professionals who are interested in developing prevention, intervention, and treatment programs for children and adolescents. Also, many state, county, city, and other local organizations that focus on children and adolescents provide information, support, training, and technical assistance.

These organizations provide a national network of resources for individuals working in child and youth development. Many have a state contact office that can provide direction to state programs, resources, and personnel.
