Welcome to Tahoe Youth & Family Services
Safety Net of Services for Youth and Families
Due to Covid-19 Tahoe Youth and Family Services, like many others, have had to make changes to our fundraising activities within our community. We greatly missed our annual Run, Jog, Walk, on Carson Valley Days, and we hope to bring it
back for 2021! In the meantime, we are thrilled to host a virtual challenge for our community and beyond.
In celebration of National Recovery Month in September, we’d like to invite our community to join us for a virtual challenge! We have several options so everyone can feel good about participating and supporting our community members near and
wide in recovery.
Join us in a 30- or 100-mile challenge by choosing whatever gets you excited; Run, jog, walk, bicycle, swim, skateboard, paddleboard, kayak or horseback ride! We don’t care as long as there is not a motor involved!

The “Miles for Recovery” Event will be one of a series of two virtual events Tahoe Youth & Family Services will be doing, ending with our annual Carson Valley Day’s race prior to the parade during the 2020 – 2021 Fiscal Year.
This first “Miles for Recovery Event” will prepare participants for our next two upcoming events. In the Spring our Miles for Recovery Event will have participants pledge per mile. Teams will be encouraged to participate.
If you have been procrastinating about getting healthy and becoming more active, these upcoming three events can be just what you need to get you motivated! Please join us as we encourage participants to get healthy both physically and mentally while supporting children, youth and families recover from mental health and substance abuse challenges. Our community will be stronger together, if we take our own mental and physical health seriously and make it a priority.
Join Tahoe Youth & Family Services with the Voices for Recovery: Invest in Health, Home, Purpose, and Community. This year’s theme is to emphasize the importance of integrated, continuing care, the role of community in recovery, the development of a sense of purpose for all, and the recognition of the leadership that has led to the successful recovery of individuals with mental health or substance use disorders.

During these challenging times, Tahoe Youth & Family Services will remain open to help those in need of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services. We will provide individual Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling through Telehealth services. Those participating in Substance Abuse groups will be provided services individually through Telehealth. We will see anyone in crisis at our Gardnerville office and or at our South Lake Tahoe Office.
Tahoe Youth understands the stress and uncertainty so many families are having during this crisis. We are only a phone call away. Our trained clinicians can provide counseling and support your need during these difficult times.
Please call us at (775)782 – 4202 in Gardnerville or in South Lake Tahoe at (530)541 – 2445 during regular office hours. In case of an immediate emergency, please call 911. If you have a question or a crisis that can wait to be handled by a therapist, please email one of our clinicians: tasha@tahoeyouth.org or brian@tahoeyouth.org.
Tahoe Youth & Family Services will continue to provide services for runaway and homeless youth who are under 18 years of age. We will also continue with our Transitional Living, Rapid Re-Housing programs and our Homeless Prevention Program for youth between 18 and 24 years of age. For additional information, please call Cheyanne at 1-800-870-8937.
