Can Children and Youth Services provide services for a young adult (ages 18 and up) having significant problems at home, but is not already receiving services from them?

No. Once a person attains the age of 18, they are considered an adult, regardless of functioning level.

There are a few rare circumstances where Children and Youth Services (CYS) continues to provide services for a person over 18, but those only apply to youth who turn 18 while in CYS custody and agree to remain in custody and under the supervision of the court, or for young adults who were previously in CYS custody, and are in need of services.
