Ellipsis

Ellipsis is Iowa’s most holistic provider of youth and family support services.

We work between what is and what’s possible so youth and families can reach happy, healthy outcomes. Ellipsis brings together Youth Homes of Mid-America (YHMA) and Youth Emergency Services & Shelter (YESS), both storied Iowa institutions with long histories of helping kids succeed. As Ellipsis, we create a community where kids and families are valued, hopeful, healthy and together. Our trained and

compassionate staff members assess individual needs and create a plan to overcome obstacles.

Summer means learning is more intentional around real-world skills. From budgeting and communication to earning an income, young people are gaining the experience they need to become confident and independent adults.

The Foster Group really is exceptional. The volunteers from their team took on the hard work of organizing one storage area we’re preparing to repurpose, while also moving items into a new storage space. Thanks to their effort, heavy lifting and teamwork, the room is now nearly cleaned out and organized.

We are so grateful for their help in getting this important South Campus project tackled for us and making a real impact at Ellipsis.

School often provides daily structure, meals, encouragement and connection with trusted adults. When that disappears for the summer, it can interrupt the progress young people have made in healing, building life skills and strengthening relationships.

That’s why summer programming at Ellipsis is so important. Our residential treatment programs continue to provide intentional care, structure and support for the youth we serve.
