What YOU does
YOU, Inc. (Youth Opportunities Unlimited) is a wholly-owned affiliate of Seven Hills Foundation, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit operating foundation established circa 1975 that delivers integrated clinical, educational, residential, behavioral-health, and community-based supports to children and adults with disabilities and significant life challenges across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. The organization operates more than 10 service divisions through affiliated entities including YOU, Inc. (youth behavioral health and college access), Family Services of Central Massachusetts (mediation/conflict resolution), Children's Friend (child welfare), Open Door Arts, Seven Hills Global Outreach, Stetson School, Seven Hills Academy at Groton, Seven Hills Pediatric Center (5-Star CMS rated), and Crotched Mountain School in New Hampshire. Service lines span adult residential group homes, adult day and employment services, brain injury rehabilitation (Seven Hills NeuroCare), pediatric skilled nursing, behavioral health and family stabilization, childcare, adoption services, and community mediation.
Revenue derives from a diversified mix of state agency contracts (MassAbility, MA Department of Housing & Community Development, MA Trial Court), government-funded referrals, private-pay arrangements (respite, sliding-fee mediation), foundation grants (30+ funders including Stoddard Charitable Trust, Greater Worcester Community Foundation, United Way, TD Charitable Foundation, Bank of America Charitable Foundation, AstraZeneca), corporate philanthropy, and individual/fundraising events. Distribution is principally direct-delivery through residential facilities, group homes, schools, four Family Support Centers (Athol, Lowell, Fitchburg, Southbridge/Sturbridge), court-referred mediation channels (Worcester and surrounding District Courts, statewide Eviction Diversion Initiative), and digital/Zoom-based mediation. The service methodology relies on a co-mediation model (two mediators per case), Person-Centered Planning and Positive Behavior Supports clinical framework, and integrated clinical coordination between a doctoral-level BCBA (Director of Clinical Services) and a Director of Health Services for medically intensive, ASD, brain injury, and behaviorally intensive residential supports. Leadership is headed by President Dr. David A. Jordan, supported by VP-level regional and program leadership.
