YTI recognizes that a wide range of problems not directly associated with one's academic pursuits can have an adverse effect on a student's performance and behavior. Many problems can be successfully treated if identified early, and a referral is made to those skilled in dealing with them whether the problem is one of physical illness, mental or emotional stress: finances, alcoholism, drug abuse, marital/family stress, legal problems, or other difficulties. YTI maintains a contractual relationship with WellSpan Health Services to provide students with such assistance.
Members of the Student Services Department are available to meet with students whom wish to take advantage of WellSpan services. Likewise, members of the faculty and staff are encouraged to provide referrals for students whom they perceive to be at risk or in need of assistance. Referrals and subsequent support for emotional or personal counseling are strictly confidential. No information is released to YTI. Access to WellSpan is provided free of charge to enrolled YTI students for three sessions. Additional sessions may be available at the cost of the individual.
