Who is Orion Youth Services?
Orion Youth Services is an entity of Colbren Management. We are licensed as a Child Placing Agency for home-based residential care in the State of Utah. We also have a contract with the DCFS and with DJJS to provide licensed proctor homes for youth in their custody. In addition to recruiting and training proctor parents, we provide therapy and tracking services to the youth. In todays world there are many assaults on the family unit. Poverty, substance abuse, behavioral disorders, and mental and emotional illnesses can contribute to situations that result in the abuse and neglect of family members at home. When this happens, there is a need for placement of the children in a safe and supportive environment until the problems confronting the family are adequately addressed and safety can be assured. It is the philosophy of Orion Youth Services that every child deserves the right to live in a safe environment where their emotional, educational, and physical needs are being met.
