  5. Why Do We Need CYS? • “… years of research suggest that at-risk youth and their families have multiple needs and interrelated problem behaviors that are not likely to be successfully addressed by single-response, stand-alone initiatives” (Morely & Rossman, 1997) • CYS has a program to fit most needs
