CCYSB was honored to attend Shelter Systems Limited’s 50th Anniversary celebration tonight! 🎉

Learning about their incredible journey from a local, third-generation family startup to an industry leader right here in Westminster was truly inspiring. Beyond their remarkable growth and family-first culture, Shelter Systems has a big heart for our community—and CCYSB is deeply grateful for their continued support over the years alongside great organizations like the Boys & Girls Club.

Congratulations to the entire Shelter Systems family on 50 years of excellence, dedication, and community impact. Here’s to the next 50! 🥂👏

We are proud to stand with the Carroll County Human Trafficking Task Force and participate in the Red Sand Project today! Staff from our agency installed red sand in the cracks of the pavement to raise awareness for those whose voices are often silenced.

Each grain of red sand represents the millions of men, women, and children who often fall through the cracks of our society and are exploited daily through commercial s*x or forced labor.

This powerful project is a reminder that we all have a role to play in raising awareness, supporting survivors, and working together to prevent human trafficking in our communities.

important update Regarding our Open Access Program:
At Carroll County Youth Service Bureau, our priority is to ensure our community has a clear, reliable path to mental health and substance use care. In response to recent changes in external program funding, CCYSB is proactively restructuring our Open Access model. By shifting our focus toward streamlined phone intakes and dedicated paperwork hours, we are optimizing our staff resources to ensure you still get connected to care quickly, efficiently, and reliably.

WHAT IS CHANGING & WHEN:

PHASE 1: Transition Period (June 15 – June 30, 2026)
• There will be no walk-in hours for referrals or assessments during these two weeks.
• We will continue to provide scheduled assessments. You can secure a slot by calling our referral line at 410-848-2500 (Option 1) or emailing [email protected].

PHASE 2: New Open Access Structure (Effective July 1, 2026) We are shifting from a "same-day walk-in assessment" model to an assessment being offered within 1 week of paperwork and referral completion.

Option 1: Call Us (Mon-Fri, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm) We have increased our staffing dedicated to answering your referral calls live. Our coordinators will help you complete your initial referral paperwork directly over the phone.

Option 2: Walk-In for Paperwork Support If you prefer in-person assistance with your initial paperwork, our doors are open during dedicated walk-in hours:
• Tuesdays: 8:30 am – 11:00 am & 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
• Wednesdays: 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Our 1-Week Goal: Whether you choose to call or walk in, once your initial referral paperwork is completed, an appointment for you will be scheduled for a full clinical assessment slot within 1 week will be offered. (Please note: Same-day assessments will no longer be standard, but may be offered if openings are present due to cancellations.)

We appreciate your patience and support as we adapt our services to stay strong, responsive, and available to everyone who needs us.

May is Mental Health Month, and this year we are focusing on a simple but powerful goal: finding More Good Days, Together.

Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being, and at CCYSB, we believe that no one should have to navigate their journey alone.

We invite you to join us as we raise awareness, reduce stigma, and celebrate the resilience of our community. Whether it’s through our clinical programs, new support groups, or simply checking in on a neighbor, let’s commit to making wellness a priority this May and beyond.
