At NELA Youth, we care deeply about the emotional and spiritual well-being of every child we serve. As part of that commitment, we offer mental wellness screenings as a gentle first step to help identify areas where a child may be struggling. These screenings are not medical or clinical evaluations. We do not diagnose conditions, provide therapy, or offer any form of clinical treatment.
Instead, our screenings are simple, non-clinical tools designed to bring awareness to possible emotional concerns. They help parents and guardians better understand what their child may be experiencing, so they can make informed decisions about whether additional support from a licensed counselor or mental health professional may be beneficial.
Our role at NELA Youth is rooted in faith and support. We come alongside young people with encouragement, mentorship, and truth grounded in a relationship with Jesus Christ. While we focus on spiritual growth and healing, we also strongly encourage families to seek appropriate professional care when needed. We believe in supporting the whole child—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally—by partnering with families and pointing them toward both faith-based hope and qualified resources.
